Do you have ip forwarding turned on on the host that you are trying to route over the tunnel (the one with the 172.16.2.6 route)?
And not top-posting (or bottom posting) is simply done by posting your replies at the bottom of the thread, not the top. That way
people can read from top-to-bottom of a thread (like a book). Makes the threads much easier to follow then top posting (the
Microsoft Outlook default).
