This will increase the readability of your article a lot. You should post the output of "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" after the connect to see if your interfaces and routes are correctly configured. You also should post your config files, maybe anyone will find a mistake there. I don't think that anyone can help you with that few information.
