I regenerated the keys and have eliminated the ‘Bogus data received message’. In fact, the debug log looks totally normal now. However, when I try to ‘ping’ from the Home PC to the Office PC, I get a ‘request timed out’ message & Windows Networking is still not able to see the PC at the other end. I do see a burst of activity in the debug log window when I issue the ‘ping’ request, so I’m pretty certain that the message is getting across to the other side.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was reluctant to use the ‘switch’ mode because I didn’t really understand if the traffic going across the VPN would be limited to what was generated by the PC running the tinc daemon, or if all traffic on the LAN would be forwarded. Now that you have recommended it and I am using it, I’m beginning to wonder if the problem isn’t to do with the firewall (Norton Internet Security). I will try to verify this by disabling the firewall the next time I visit the client. I did open port 655 on both the physical adapter and the TAP adapter, but I’m now wondering if there is something more that I have to do. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is all very perplexing.
