Hello all, 

  I've been playing with tinc to setup a wan between two offices of the
company that I work for.  I'm partially there but having a slight problem.

  tinc comes up between the 2 machines (both 2.2.14 debian woody
machines), and I can ping from the vpn machine at office a, and get a
response from office b.  However, if I ping any other machine across the
wan I can't get a response.

For example: (ips changed for privacy);

Host A:

  DHCP Server/Firewall/Router
  Internal ip: *.*.1.10
  MyVPNIP: *.*.1.10
  Route list: 
	Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
64.26.135.208   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.240 U     0      0        0 eth0
*.*.1.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
*.*.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 tap0
0.0.0.0         x.y.z.a         0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Host B:

  DHCP Server/Firewall/Router
  Internal ip: *.*.0.237
  MyVPNIP: *.*.0.237
  Route list: 
	Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
x.y.z.b         0.0.0.0         255.255.255.240 U     0      0        0 eth0
*.*.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
*.*.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 tap0
0.0.0.0         x.y.z.b         0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0



PING A->B works.
PING B->A works.

PING A->*.*.0.3 Doesn't.
PING B->*.*.0.3 Does.
PING B->*.*.1.100 Doesn't.
PING A->*.*.1.100 Does.


The mac addresses are properly converted to the appropriate hex values.

  Any help would be appreciated..
