tinc - Feb 2010 - host behind tunnel only reachable on activity from the other side

Hi,

I have a tinc tunnel up and running. I connected 2 hosts with a net behind.
Host A with static ip 1.2.3.4 with 192.168.1.0/24
Host B with dhcp connection with 192.168.2.0/24
the whole net is 192.168.0.0/16

I can reach at any time any host behind A from a host behind B.
But I can reach a host behind B only, if traffic (keep alive like ping) from
B goes continousliy
from B to A.

I am running tinc in router mode on both hosts

what am I missing?

Are you using the latest version of tinc (1.0.12)? If not, try upgrading first.
If you are already running 1.0.12, then try reducing the amount of time between
tinc's own keepalive packets, for example by adding this line to tinc.conf:

PingInterval = 15

Let us know if any of this helps or not.
