You should keep it set to switch mode. Mixing different modes in one VPN is
usually not a good idea.

It probably won't make a difference in this case, that is true.

Tinc itself does seem to run fine, and it is receiving and sending packets
from/to remote. So I don't think the problem is with tinc itself. You could run
tcpdump on the VPN interface to see what kind of packets are exchanged. Also
check that the firewall configuration of laptop and/or remote have not been
changed. Also, perhaps the DHCP server is out of addresses? Note that the tap
devices get a new MAC address every time they are created (at boot, or on Linux
everytime you restart tinc).
