tinc - May 2010 - tinc-up on Mac OS X

Hello,

I'm trying to get tinc working on my mac.  It appears to connect to other
nodes, but I can't actually use the vpn.

If I enter the command
ifconfig tun0 10.11.12.195 netmask 255.255.255.0
I get the error
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required

If I enter the commands
ifconfig tun0 10.11.12.195 10.11.12.195 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 10.11.12.0 10.11.12.195 255.255.255.0
then I get no errors, but I still cannot send traffic to the other nodes

The other nodes can use the vpn fine as though they were physically connected.

I am hoping there is a simple solution, but I can provide more details of my
configuration if necessary.

Thanks,
Brad

I fixed my own problem buy setting Device=/dev/tap0 in my tinc.conf. Now tinc is
working normally.

Thanks.
