I've tried all I can do and now I have no options left but to ask for 
help, I must be missing something obvious. 

I've got a very basic setup, local has a static ip and remote is dynamic 
(dial-up).

Local (static) machine: /etc/sysconfig/..../ifc-cipcb0

DEVICE=cipcb0
ONBOOT=yes
USERCTL=yes

MYPORT=6789
PEER=0.0.0.0
PTPADDR=192.168.10.2
IPADDR=192.168.10.1

Remote machine: /etc/sysconfig/..../ifc-cipcb0

DEVICE=cipcb0
ONBOOT=no
USERCTL=yes

MYPORT=6789
PEER=mydomain.com:6789
PTPADDR=192.168.10.1
IPADDR=192.168.10.2

When I bring up cipe on the remote and try to ping 192.168.10.1, I just 
get the kxchg: recv: Connection refused message.
These are the routing tables:

Local:

192.168.10.2   0.0.0.0           255.255.255.255   ...cipcb0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0           255.255.255.0      ...eth0
24.141.192.0   0.0.0.0           255.255.240.0      ...eth1
127.0.0.0        0.0.0.0           255.0.0.0              ...lo
0.0.0.0           24.141.192.1   0.0.0.0                 ...eth1

Remote:

192.168.10.1  0.0.0.0            255.255.255.255  ...cipcb0
208.6.77.7     0.0.0.0            255.255.255.255   ...ppp0
192.168.1.0   192.168.10.1    255.255.255.0      ...cipcb0
(added manually)
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0            255.0.0.0              ...lo
0.0.0.0          208.6.77.7       0.0.0.0                  ...ppp0

And I've tried it with the firewall completely down, so that's not the 
problem. 

Thanks a lot for any help.
