[Openswan Users] really basic peer-to-peer setup

[Alan McKay]

One potential complicating factor ...

10.246.159.41 (solexa1, or 192.168.160.11 on the other side) is not
the main firewall / gateway for its subnet, and everything in that
subnet uses 192.168.160.10 as the default route.

But even when I try to ping from solexa1 to the private subnet side of
the other end of the tunnel I get nothing.
That should work shouldn't it?

i.e. the other end is 10.242.182.88 with 2 private subnets
172.16.0.0/24 and 172.30.0.0/24, and it occupies the .1 address on
both subnets.

I should be able to do this no :

root at solexa1:~# ping 172.16.0.1
PING 172.16.0.1 (172.16.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 172.16.0.1 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3023ms

Here is part of the ifconfig on the other end
