New issue, configuring 2 Vista nodes

[Alan S. Lawee]

Hello All,

I am trying to configure 2 Vista nodes.  For testing, I put them both on the
same LAN & subnet, and after figuring out that Vista puts the RSA_Key
private File & the Hosts files in a different directory {
\USERS\username\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES\TINC\ (+hosts\) },
I managed to bring up the daemons on both nodes.  (I suspect that Windows 7
uses another directory as well, but not the same as Vista.)

My problem is that one node is able to ping both ends of the VPN connection,
but the other can only ping the local side of the VPN connection.  I've
checked & re-checked the configuration files and they look identical except
for the connection names & addresses, but nothing seems to help.  That
location is fortunate to have 2 separate DSL connections (1 VoIP, 1 data),
and when I tried to run between the two DSL connections, forwarding port 655
to each node, everything behaves as it did on the common LAN subnet.  The
goal is to be able to share files between the two nodes, which doesn't work
yet.

I have attached the config files as well as the debug output from each side
if anyone has the time to help.

Based on my experience over the last few days, I would be willing to write
up & submit a 'how-to' guide for setting up under Windows Vista (& once I
get to setting up the Windows 7 environment, that one too) so that others
can avoid the guesswork and problems I've had to solve.  (Netsh syntax has
also changed from XP.)

Best Regards,
