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

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

The problem, i can't enter this route into the NetworkManager PPTP VPN
settings. I can add the route and close the dialog with OK, but the next
time I open the route settings, the "0.0.0.0" route is gone. And - of
course - i have to add the route by hand every time i connect to my vpn.
