Hey,

allthough I have read this newsgroup for some last weeks and found
hints towards solving the problems with the routing tables and ppp
connection, it could not help me. I tried each suggested step and was
evem more confused.

One day, after trying around, I succeeded to set up routing tables
so I got the working connection. I wondered, because my routing tables
indicated the same contents as after doing automatic routing configuration.

My IP assigns my address dinamically, so I heve to use the ifaddr command
which seems to work fine. In my opinion I need tree lines in the routing
tables like these:

Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
default          134.245.247.4      UGSc        1        0      tun0
127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1          UH          2        7       lo0
134.245.247.4    134.245.247.21     UGHS        2        0      tun0 

Here is 134.245.247.4 the server I am connected to, 134.245.247.21 the dynamically
assigned address.

One more wonderin thing:
I tried to setup my routing tebles on another day in the same way and was not
successful. What could be the reason?
