Howdy,

I would like to bring this topic up again. Gaming via tinc. We use 
tinc-1.0.16 on Linux, Win7 and WinXP so far.
Setup was pretty straight forward. All the nodes have mode set to switch 
and subnet to 10.0.0.0/24.
Ping works, smb shares work. Everything seems fine BUT connecting ingame 
only works with 1 out of 5 games.
In some games, we see each other in the lobby. I conclude, that UDP 
broadcasts work. In some games only the Win7 machine sees the WinXP 
machine. But even then, most games crash, when we try to actually connect.

I doubt this is a limitation of tinc. It's more likely to be a 
configuration problem, I guess.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Leon
