</div></div>What do you call the hostname ? Full hostname like <a href="http://www.tinc-vpn.org" target="_blank">www.tinc-vpn.org</a> or<br>
juste tinc-vpn ?<br>
If you use full hostname then you need to check your dns configuration<br>
(check wich nameserver is used), and if it's only the hostname (like<br>
tinc-vpn) you need to put the information in the /etc/hosts files...<br>
