: checked route table and all looks normal till i go to some sites such as

: 1.) to understand why
: 2.) stop this undesired behaviour
: 3.) keep my vpn connection up even when browsing totaly "untrustworthy
: sites" such as microsoft.com
:
: i have run spybot search and destroy/adaware and 3 different AntiVirus
: software packages
: i have reinstalled stil had the problem, also found other users having the
: same problem

I'm wondering why you decided to ask the "greedy bastards" whom you deem
untrustworthy yet have chosen to ignore seeking help with your trustworthy
chaps?

You haven't shown us any part of your setup, other than your routing table,
nor have you said there is a problem other than entries in your routing
table. So, what is your problem other than playing the part of the idiot by
biting the hand before your fed?

BTW... Where is your host on 192.168.1.x and your gateway on 192.168.0.x?
Where is the route between them? Oh, and the 65.x.x.x and 207.x.x.x
networks belong to those "greedy bastards" at Microsoft.
