I'm assuming you self-signed your csr... The client doesn't need a client cert installed to do SSL. My guess is when you created your self-signed certificate when it asked you for a CN "e.g. YOUR name", you didn't put in reality.dynip.com. It's confusing in the dialog, it seems it want's your name, not the name of the server.
