[CentOS] NetworkManager, Vpnc and Centos 5.3 Problem.

[Abdullah Teke]

Hi;
I have Centos 5.3 on my labtop and have to vpn a cisco vpn server. So i
installed vpnc on my box. Then i want to integrate with NetworkManager and
vpnc so i also installed NetworkManager-vpnc 7.0. I configured vpn
connection and tried to connect. It looks like it connected but when i try
to login my server at behind of the vpn server, i cant reach them. I check
the routes and it looks like at below.

[root at localhost sysconfig]# route
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   10.15.1.1       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0
eth0
10.255.0.136    *               255.255.255.248 U     0      0        0 tun0
10.15.0.0       *               255.255.0.0     U     1      0        0 eth0
default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 tun0

When i check the log files everthing seems ok at all.

Then i tried at the console and run the vpnc command and enter the vpn
information from command line like below it is worked

[root at localhost sysconfig]# vpnc
Enter IPSec gateway address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Enter IPSec ID for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx
Enter IPSec secret for xxx at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Enter username for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx-xxx
Enter password for xxx-xxx at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
VPNC started in background (pid: 19071)...

I can reach my servers. There isnt any error while try with networkmanager
vpnc, but it cant connect actually When i looked at routes again. It is
shown the same values. Any idea?
