Bridging on windows networks

Well, if what you say is correct, then the previous message indicating
two ways to go about connecting my computers should be relabled from
"hard" and "easier" to "impossible" and "the only way."

Sorry, my schedule the next week or so is very intermittent.
IRC works for me.  I'll check in at random times.  Guus is there right
now, along with 7 others but no response to messages.
****************************************************

There is some nuance here.  Seems to me that if a node does not have a
PKI certificate pair with the public cert known at the foreign end,
there should not be anyway to do exactly what you want - pinging tinc
node IP addresses from non-tinc nodes.  Otherwise, tinc would not be
secure at all, right.  Isn't it by design that a non tinc node should
not be able to ping a tinc node's tinc ip address.


i am working on a similar problem except that i want non-tinc nodes to
ping non-tinc nodes through a tinc vpn bridge using switch mode.

Maybe we should Skype or something?  r u on IRC?

i am assuming you are still trying to do it the hard way - routing,
otherwise you would not be mucking with subnets.
i am using Switch mode and having issues.
