Hi Albi<div><br></div><div>Thank you for replying, and so quickly. I'm afraid that I still don't fully understand but then I am not really a network guy.</div><div><br></div><div>With the host file where my subnet = <a href="http://10.0.0.3/32">10.0.0.3/32</a> is this a way or writing a single IP with a subnet mask (i.e. 10.0.0.3 and 255.255.255.255) or is this actually specifying an IP range i.e. 10.0.0.3 to 10.0.0.32? If it is the latter, do I need /32 (or /anything) if I only need a single IP address?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, as this is getting in to the realms of networking that I am not familiar with, would you be able to confirm that the way I have it set up:</div><div><br></div><div>PC1:</div><div> host file Subnet = <a href="http://10.0.0.3/32">10.0.0.3/32</a>, interface IP = 10.0.0.3, interface mask = 255.0.0.0<br>
<br></div><div><div>PC2:</div><div> host file Subnet = <a href="http://10.0.0.4/32">10.0.0.4/32</a>, interface IP = 10.0.0.4, interface mask = 255.0.0.0<br></div></div><div><br></div><div> is correct and secure?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thanks again Albi, I appreciate your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Craig.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 11 May 2010 08:44, Albi Rebmann <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:albi@albi.life.de">albi@albi.life.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>The mask of the interface is the ip range you can use in your tinc vpn<br>
netzwork (cloud). All these ips go to your vpn.<br>
The ip (ranges) in your host file tell the vpn, that this ip(s) is(are)<br>
available at this computer (vpn endpoint).<br>
This way, tinc knows on which endpoint which ip is available.<br>
And you need no extra routing table changes.<br>
