Check with netstat -rn if you have a default route. For example:
+ $ netstat -rn
+ Routing tables
+
+ Internet:
+ Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
+ default 139.130.136.129 UGSc 8 208 tun0
This one. Note the Netif field. It should be tun0.
If you don't have a default entry, check your /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
file. It should contain the lines:
MYADDR:
add 0 0 HISADDR
You can also add the route manually, but that's a pain:
+ # ifconfig tun0
+ tun0: flags=8151<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
+ inet 139.130.136.133 --> 139.130.136.129 netmask 0xffffffc0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This one
+ # route add default 139.130.136.129
