problem with pptp/vpn

[thaldyron]

I'm trying to connect to a vpn server. Therefor i had compiled the kernel with ppp, installed the pptpclient and configured it with
pptp-command. After starting i get the message that the tunnel was set up correctly for ppp0 (checked with ifconfig) but i still can't reach any server outside.
thx in advance!

This might be a default route problem.
Before connectin to a VPN server, remove all default routes

Code: Select all

/sbin/route del default

and connect. Make sure you have defaultroute as an option in pppd.
