Connection is up - but no packets are coming back...

All,

I've set up tinc yesterday (Win32 -> Linux), the connection comes up but 
I can't reach a host behind the tinc "Server".

Maybe I did something completely wrong, so let me first describe my 
network....

The "Server" has multiple Interfaces, be we just care for two of them 
here. One NIC "eth2" ist to the LAN (192.168.100.x/24) and the oher one 
is the "vpn" Interface.

What I want: When I connect via Internet to the tinc deamon on the 
Server, I want to be someone with the IP 192.168.100.x/24. I've 
organized the LAN so that 192.168.100.20/24 - 192.168.100.49/24 are 
"reserved" for VPN Clients.

Is this possible? I guess I have some kind of routing problem, because 
after the connection is up I have two routes for the net 
192.168.100.0/24 on my server - one points to the vpn interface and one 
to the eth interface.


Once again (if my english was too bad) ;-)


  +------+   vpn = 192.168.100.20/32
  | home |   ppp = a.b.c.d (dynamic ip)
  +------+
     |
     |
     |
+--------+   vpn  = 192.168.100.221/24
| office |   ethX = 192.168.100.220/24
+--------+   ethY = w.x.y.z (static ip)


This is the config-file for my "office":
Address         = w.x.y.z
Subnet          = 192.168.100.0/24


This is the config-file for my "home":
Subnet = 192.168.100.20/32


Hope anyone can bring me in the right direction....


Thank you,
Michael
