Configuration of hosts

[Anon]

I'm probably doing something I'm not supposed to even try, but I'm trying
for "proof of concept" before physically setting up a distant network
because of logistical issues.

Anyway, I have tincd running as a service on two windows machines on the
same lan.  I'm trying to establish a connection between those two computers
on the vpn ip's (10.20.30.1 and 10.20.40.1).  I have confirmed that port 655
is open because each machine can ping the other on the LAN ip address
(192.168.1.x) and "telnet 192.168.1.x 655" works on both machines (x=4 on
one machine and 8 on the other) (it responds with "0 MachineB 17" on
MachineA and "0 MachineA 17" on MachineB.

ipconfig /all confirms that each computer can see itself on the 10.20.x.1
addresses.

tracert gets me nothing

my hosts files now look like this:

MachineA

Address = 192.168.1.4
Subnet = 10.20.30.0/24
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

MachineB

Address = 192.168.1.8
Subnet = 10.20.40.0/24
-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----

I feel like I'm close, really close.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
