While I don't normally consider myself a clueless newbie, I'm quite lost
with tinc right now.
Situation: remote machine is the tinc server, let's say internet ip
148.94.168.23. (ip's changed to protect the guilty) It's name is Shire.
Local machine is tinc client, internet ip 205.64.36.65. It's name is
Gondor.

Here are the tinc.confs:
Shire:
ListenPort = 8080
MyOwnVPNIP = 192.168.111.1/24
VpnMask = 255.255.255.0
TapDevice = /dev/tap0
Passphrases=/etc/tinc/passphrases

Gondor:
ConnectTo = 148.94.168.23
ConnectPort=8080
MyOwnVPNIP = 192.168.111.2/24
VpnMask = 255.255.255.0
Passphrases=/etc/tinc/passphrases/
TapDevice=/dev/tap0

I can apparently create the connection just fine (snippits from logs
coming in a second), but no data gets pushed. Each machine can ping
themselves on the tap device just fine, but can't ping each other.
Here's some /var/log/messages bits:

What concerns me is the difference in bytes written lines.
I have both the netlink_dev and ethertap modules loaded.

Anyone have any ideas?
