Hi Guus,

Thanks a lot for answering.

I'm running tinc with -d 5, but that's pretty much what is on my logs...

Bad bios battery. I already adjusted the time and restarted tinc.

That's the first time I'm using tinc.

Here's a complete log dump (sorry, had to remove the real IPs):

Ago 13 12:08:15 Viatel01 syslog: syslogd terminado succeeded
Ago 13 12:08:35 Viatel01 tinc.nextel[4662]: tincd 1.0pre7 (Apr 25 2002

Ago 13 12:08:37 Viatel01 tinc.nextel[4662]: Connection with alpha (port
443) activated

When I telnet to the 10.101.0 network behind alpha (from beta), I can see
the packets arriving on alpha with tcpdump.
I'm getting the feeling that some firewall, somewhere, is dropping the
packets on the floor. I'll investigate and let you know.
Just a doubt: there's no problem trying to connect the nets 192.168.1.0/24
& 10.101.0.0/24, even if they don't have a common (sub) netmask, right?
Thanks again,

A.
