Hi I am sorry it took me some time to see this... I have to say that I am working for Netvision (please do not flame too bad...) - I am the network manager.
Anyway, here is what has to be done: Before "dialing" (opening the vpn) do a "netstat -rn" or "route -n" Take the next hop of the default gateway and add a host route to cables.netvision.net.il: 'route add -host cables.netvision.net.il gw <ip addr>' Now you can open the PPTP tunnel. After opening the PPTP tunnel, you can remove the current default gateway, and add a new one pointing to the far side of the ppp0 interface. I recommend adding the 'usepeerdns' option for ppp so that the DNS we push would be used, and not the one given by the DHCP server from the cable company. I have tested this setup a few days ago on RH7.3 with the current ADSL PPTP package (without the quirks option) and it worked great. We also support the same setup with L2TP (actually with win2K and XP it works better than PPTP), but I could not make it work with the L2TP software available for Linux (www.l2tpd.org). I am open to suggestion, if anyone has any idea... If there is anything I can help with, just ask. Arie -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey S.

If I route packets to it, I can get to the internet. If I set a default rout to it, the VPN packets get lost. How do I set up the correct routing? Amir Tal sent me script, but it did not work for me. thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson Bloomberg L.P., BFM (Israel) 2 hours ahead of London, 7 hours ahead of New York.
