Since mia already has 192.168.0.1 assigned to eth1, I will use 192.168.0.2 
(or anything else...).. Same thing for Zidler (192.168.2.2). 


I have never used the  "ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.0.0 netmask 
255.255.0.0" command that u have mentioned. So I am a bit confused.

So just to be clear the tinc-up script on mia and zidler should look like:

ZIDLER:
-------
#!/bin/sh                                                                                           
ifconfig $INTERFACE hw ether fe:fe:0:0:0:0

#How do I assign 192.168.2.2 for this virtual interface.Should I add the 
#below line
#ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
ifconfig $INTERFACE -arp

MIA:
----
#!/bin/sh                                                                                           
ifconfig $INTERFACE hw ether fe:fd:0:0:0:0

#How do I assign 192.168.2.2 for this virtual interface.Should I add the 
#below line
#ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
ifconfig $INTERFACE -arp


Thanks for your help.. I will try to get on the IRC channel and see if I 
can get some help.
