Some questions about tinc

[Ricardo Lopes]

I have to install a VPN between three places (A, B, C), the A is a Windows
2000
will be the VPN Server and the others are Windows98 and are the clients. B
and C
doesnt need to comunicate.I have the following questions and i would
appreciate
some help:

1) I only have to install tinc in the Server, or i have to install it in
the clients too?

2) I read in the documentation that tinc is compatible with windows2000 and
windowsXp, but is it compatible with windows98 ??

3) Can i use any client VPN software to connect to a tinc Server ?

4) If installed as a service and configured the tinc Server is started
automaticly
when windows starts, is it posible to make the clients connect automatic to
the tinc
server when windows start without the need of any input from the user ??

5) A machine in a VPN has two ip addresses the original and the private or
do i have to
change the ip address of the computer so it doesnt conflict with the address
of another
computer in the other network? (this question may appear a newbie question
but i havent
found a answer to it)

6) Which method does tinc uses routing or bridging? does it support both?
