You have to tell Windows (not tinc) on gavin to use that WINS server.

Of course, you told tinc that your VPN consists of only 10.20.40.1/32
and 10.0.1.111/32. You can either use 10.0.1.111 instead of
192.168.0.111, or you have to tell tinc that 192.168.0.111 is part of
your VPN as well.

Same thing. You told tinc that 10.20.40.1 is part of the VPN, not
10.0.0.8.
