Title:
  It's not possible to add a "zero-route"

Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

  I connect to the internet here at work via WLAN and a PPTP VPN. To do
  this I use NetworkManager and the PPTP plugin. I can connect to the
  WLAN and the VPN. The connection looks good, but I can't access the
  internet. When I ping google I get...

  $ ping www.google.de
  connect: Network is unreachable

  The route looks like this...

  $ route -n
  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
  141.21.5.160    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
  192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth1
  169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth1
  192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     2      0        0 eth1

  After some research on the internet I found out that I missing a
  "zero-route". So after

  $ sudo route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0

  my route looks like this

  $ route -n
  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
  141.21.5.160    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
  192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth1
  169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth1
  192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     2      0        0 eth1
  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0

  and i'm able to ping google and receive webpages etc...

  $ ping www.google.de
  PING www.l.google.com (74.125.39.105) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from fx-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.39.105): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=11.3 ms
  64 bytes from fx-in-f105.1e100.net (74.125.39.105): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=13.5 ms

  The problem, i can't enter this route into the NetworkManager PPTP VPN
  settings. I can add the route and close the dialog with OK, but the
  next time I open the route settings, the "0.0.0.0" route is gone. And
  - of course - i have to add the route by hand every time i connect to
  my vpn.
