If you look at gavin's route table, you see that 10.0.0.0/8 is routed to
its Ethernet interface instead of the TAP-Win32 interface. It is
probably best to change the netmask of the Ethernet interface to
255.255.255.0.

If that doesn't help, then maybe the firewall (bookpc) is masquerading
packets. In that case, try adding TCPOnly = yes to hosts/gentoo and
restart tinc, or try installing tinc on bookpc instead of on gentoo.

If you use a WINS server, yes. Otherwise, no.

If it can reach the gentoo machine, yes, but you probably need to have set up
portforwarding on bookpc for that.

If you are talking about the Subnets, the answer is no if you only want
to communicate between 10.20.40.1 and 10.0.1.111. If you want to reach
other hosts, yes.
