Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
I connect to the internet here at work via WLAN and a PPTP VPN. To do this I use NetworkManager and the PPTP plugin. I can connect to the WLAN and the VPN. The connection looks good, but I can't access the internet. When I ping google I get... $ ping www.google.de connect: Network is unreachable The route looks like this... $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 141.21.5.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 2 0 0 eth1 After some research on the internet I found out that I missing a "zero- route". So after $ sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0 my route looks like this $ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 141.21.5.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 2 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 and i'm able to ping google and receive webpages etc... $ ping www.google.de PING www.l.google.com (74.125.39.105) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from fx-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.39.105): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=11.3 ms 64 bytes from fx-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.39.105): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=13.5 ms The problem is similar to Bug #565284. But in this issue it's not about the "workaround", it's about the main cause. Why is this zero-route missing in the first place?
