[44net] No luck with dotun.sh script

Hello all, and hopefully this will be a simple user head space error. I have an IP-IP gateway defined as ab4mw.noip.me in the portal My address space is 44.62.1.8/29 (sova1.ab4mw.ampr.org - sova6.ab4mw.ampr.org). sova1 is the host in question. I am attempting to get the first host online via IP-IP tunnel using 44.62.1.9 as the tunl0 address which also corresponds to the ax0 address (VHF link). I used Brian N1URO's straightforward dotun.sh script from this mailing list (and his web site at http://n1uro.ampr.org/linuxconf.dotun.html). No errors running the script. The rules are there, the RIP routes and the default route to UCSD are in table 1. However, I cannot seem to touch anyone on the 44/8 network from this host. My static IP address facing the cable router is 192.168.0.20 and 192.168.0.1 is the default inet gateway of course. This host is in the DMZ of my cable router. I have full internet access from this host as well. First, if someone could provide a valid host for me to ping/telnet, etc. to from here, that would help. None of the /32's I have tried from the encap.txt are reachable, nor is telnet n1uro.ampr.org 3694 which is my go to test host. Traceroute from n1uro.ampr.org's uronode shell was a complete bust as well as from ve1jot's system in Nova Scotia. Any help will be graciously appreciated. If anyone wishes to contact me off list to look at configs or rec'v a temporary ssh login to peruse my host, I'd be happy to oblige. I have been looking at this thing so long, my eyes are now permanently crossed I think. Also, any attempts to connect to me may provide help, so telnet sova1.ab4mw.ampr.org port 4000 connect to a std. node application for testing.
