Hi Mike,

Thanks very much for your prompt response.

I've tried recreated the options file from scratch, using the sample
template, several times.

Here're my setup.

Machine A:

ifcfg-cipcb0:
---
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
TYPE=CIPE
DEVICE=cipcb0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.0.1.1
MYPORT=6969
PTPADDR=10.0.1.2
PEER=171.31.22.5:6969
ME=171.31.22.4:6969

Options.cipcb0:
---
ptpaddr 10.0.1.2
ipaddr  10.0.1.1
me      171.31.22.4:6969
peer    171.31.22.5:6969
key     11112222333344445555666677778888

Machine B:

ifcfg-cipcb0:
---
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
TYPE=CIPE
DEVICE=cipcb0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.0.1.2
MYPORT=6969
PTPADDR=10.0.1.1
PEER=171.31.22.4:6969
ME=171.31.22.5:6969

options.cipcb0 :
---
ptpaddr        10.0.1.1
ipaddr          10.0.1.2
me              171.31.22.5:6969
peer            171.31.22.4:6969
key             11112222333344445555666677778888

My test setup has two machines connecting to the same switch, using
171.31.22.0/24 network.

I also understand that between "key" and the md5 hash, there should be
exactly one "tab", correct?

Also, when I run "ifup cipcb0" from commandline, I've got these errors:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

I've tried looking up these errors, and the "ciped-cb[644]: missing
argument: key" error in Google for hours yesterday, but to no avail.

If you need more info on my setup, please do not hesitate to let me
know.
Thanks very much again for your help, Mike.

Warm Regards,
Tanat

Hmmm....Did you try and delete the line and completely retype? I would
try that and make sure that there isn't some "invisible
character" messing things up. As a matter of fact, you might consider
re-entering the options file (they aren't very big) just to make sure
all is well. If that does nothing, lemme know. 
P.S. What does the other end of the link do? Where/how is this
connection supposed to work if it did?
