I installed Tinc and started on two mashines. both connect and say
everything is OK. But then when I try to ping through the VPN I get the
following errors in syslog:
on server:
rtr-us tinc.vpn_net[911]: Metadata socket read error for BG_VPN (x.x.x.x -
inet ip of client): No such process

and on client
ns tinc.vpn_net[301]: Incoming data socket error: Connection refused

what does it mean as on my firewall port forwarding is set as neeed on udp
and tcp port 655. And even I see the icmp traffic on the firewall between
two hosts.

This are the starting scrips on both mashines:
Client (Kernel 2.2.17)
#! /bin/sh

# Starting VPN
echo -n "Starting VPN,"
tincd -n vpn_net -ddd
echo -n " Configuring VPN Interface"
sleep 1
ifconfig tap0 hw ether fe:fd:00:00:00:00
ifconfig tap0 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.0.0
echo "          [VPN Started]"

and server:
#! /bin/sh

# Starting VPN
echo -n "Starting VPN,"
tincd -n vpn_net -ddd
echo -n " Configuring VPN Interface"
sleep 1
ifconfig vpn_net hw ether fe:fd:00:00:00:00
ifconfig vpn_net 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
echo "          [VPN Started]"


Here are the config files:
(/etc/vpn_net/tinc.conf)
Client:
Name = BG_VPN
ConnectTo = US_VPN
PrivateKey = .....

Server:
Name = US_VPN
PrivateKey = ...

And hosts files:
BG_VPN:
Subnet = 192.168.0.0/16
Address = x.x.x.x (gateway address)
PublicKey = .....

US_VPN:
Subnet = 192.168.0.0/16
Address = x.x.x.x (gateway address)
PublicKey =

Whats wrong with this, can you tell me ?
