In order to connect to the university's wireless network, I have to vpn (vpnc).
I can connect to the AP fine, and everything seems to go alright when i run vpnc, but I get no access to the network. Resolv.conf shows the correct nameservers, but I found out that I'm not receiving anything from the tun0 interface.

Code:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:35:2D:77:F0
          inet addr:10.1.12.139  Bcast:10.1.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:94 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:18240 (17.8 Kb)  TX bytes:7642 (7.4 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000 Memory:c0214000-c0214fff

tun0    Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          inet addr:130.18.107.182  P-t-P:130.18.107.182  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1390  Metric:1
          [b]RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0[/b]
          TX packets:27 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:2472 (2.4 Kb)


Also, i have buddy whose connection works fine, and our routes are different
Mine(broken):
Code:

T42 ~ # route -n

It seems that when i connect to vpn, my vpn'd eth1(wireless) connection doesn't get added to my route, while on my friend's computer it does get added. (His is ath0)
I guess i just need a way to edit route and add eth1 to the corresponding tun0 address/gateway. Did any of that make sense?, any help?

Weird, as far as I remember the manual said somthing like "vpnc won't take care about routes at all, this must be done by the user".

Whatever... my guess is the vpn-server is running on 130.18.0.100 (right?)
and before connecting you probably had a default gw set like this:
Code:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
...
0.0.0.0         10.1.0.1         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 eth1


By connecting to the vpn, your default gw gets somehow overriden with this:
Code:

0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 tun0

and now you lost the route to the vpn-server which makes your shiny new route to the outside wolrd via tun0 unusable as well.

Before staring vpnc try this:
Code:

route add 130.18.0.100 gw 10.1.0.1
