<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:12.0pt'>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.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:12.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:12.0pt'>I have attached the config files
as well as the debug output from each side if anyone has the time to help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:12.0pt'>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.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
