Thanks for your help Ron. Without the VPN, route gives : Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default livebox.home 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 10.42.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 With the VPN, route gives : Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 10.42.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 strong-mf35.rel 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth1 strong-mf35.rel 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth1 129.189.255.173 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
