Below are three connection attempts which failed the first time to properly connect to the VPN-server. Most often the default route is not set properly and when hung up not all routing entries were always deleted. The pptp-plugin reported every time that the connection succeeded. patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.2.96.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.2.96.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 patrik@ubuntu:~$ patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.254.6.14 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.2.96.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.254.6.14 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 patrik@ubuntu:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.166 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 213.232.200.200 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 wlan0 1.2.96.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 patrik@ubuntu:~$
