Hello,

i have 1 tinc-node which is reachable from internet.
If more than 3 clients connect to the "master", the fourth client (laptop) could not connect the master and so on the others.

This is the debug-message from the client:
Trying to connect to master (x.x.x.x port xxx)

tinc.conf (laptop)
Name = laptop
ConnectTo = master
Device = /dev/net/tun
Mode = switch

tinc-up on the master (i need no interface up for him):
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig xxxx down


All clients and the master use tinc 1.0.12
The master is a debian-linux (tinc-options: -L --logfile --user=xxx )
the clients are windows xp/vista/7

Has anybody the same problem or could it reproduce?

PS: i have send this message to the user-list, too.
Is there a site to search/report for bugs in tinc?
