Debug messages would be helpful here.
Note that 'netmask' doesn't really do much for point-to-point links.
The option is there for legacy reasons.
Also, it's not necessary to configure the IP addresses redundantly
like that. You can configure them both on one side, or one on each
side. (E.g., have "192.168.100.1:" on one system and "192.168.100.2:"
on the other.)
