[Techtalk] Routing/Bridging Question

I'm trying to setup a VPN between two networks and having a problem
routing traffic across the end points. I'm using tinc
(http://tinc.nl.linux.org/) and Debian 3.0 (testing, kernel
2.4.18-bf2.4). The boxes I'm setting up the VPN between look like this:
BoxA - eth0 = 192.168.1.2 eth1 = 192.168.254.1 vpn=192.168.1.2 (setup by
tinc)
BoxB - eth0 = 192.168.2.1 eth1 = 192.168.254.2 vpn=192.168.2.1 (setup by
tinc)
When tinc is up on both boxes, I can ping both IPs on both boxes (e.g.
from BoxA, ping 192.168.2.1 works fine). However, I can't ping any of
the boxes on the network beyond (e.g. BoxA can't ping 192.168.2.2 and
192.168.2.2 can't ping BoxA). When I ping 192.168.2.2 from A I can see
the ping crossing the VPN, so I know the VPN is properly setup, but when
I ping A from 192.168.2.2 I don't see any traffic going across the VPN.
I don't think it's a problem with my VPN. I think I haven't properly
setup my boxes to route (bridge?) traffic from vpn to eth0 and eth0 to vpn.
Here's what my routing table looks like on Box A
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.254.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 vpn
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Does anyone have any ideas or resources as to what I need to do?
Thanks,
Stephan
