Donald,

Excellent! Now I think I finally understand how to do this. Thank you very much. (Just to confirm, I need to assign the new additional IP on physical adapter for each non tinc PC and on tap adapter for tinc gateway PCs, right?)

PS. for some reason not all my messages reach the list, so I'm resubmitting this one in hope that it's show up. I sent another message thanking Alan for his suggestion as it totally makes sense to me. the only thing with that suggestion is that broadcasts won't be possible.
That message didn't show up either.

Sure it's possible, you just need to assign each node a new IP in the 10.30.1.0/24 <http://10.30.1.0/24> network. It's not part of the Tinc configuration, it's part of the network configuration of each computer.

All Tinc is doing, is creating a layer 2 path for them to reach each other. Yes broadcasts will traverse the VPN. It literally is virtual ethernet over the internet. :)

    Donald, thank you for this.

    Do i read you right that to be able to receive broadcasts across
    LANs I have to use the address space that I already have and make
    sure that this space is the same for both LANs?

    What I'm trying to do is to define a *completely new subnet* that
    will act as the common LAN foR both LAN A and LAN B.

    To re-iterate:
    I have one router that is 10.1.1.1 and gives out DHCP 10.1.1.*
    and the other router 192.168.0.1 that gives out DHCP 192.168.0.*.
    I would like to leave these address spaces alone and define a new
    on 10.30.1.* that computer from both networks can participate in
    effectively forming a new virtual LAN.

    Is this possible with tinc? I know this possible with other
    software, I'm just having hard time figuring out if this is
    something I can configure tinc to do.

    Andrew
