VPN; Routing

[Shon Shampain]

I have a recent LFS install, trying to get VPN working....
Please help!!!!

# First I bring up the VPN
# ----------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2$ sudo pon vpn

# Here are the routes after it is up, <pub-ip-of-vpn> sanitized
-bash-3.2$ sudo ip route show
<pub-ip-of-vpn> dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.10.133
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.5
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

# Add the VPN the best I know how - obviously wrong!!
# ----------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2$ sudo ip route append 192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.10.133

-bash-3.2$ sudo ip route show
<pub-ip-of-vpn> dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.10.133
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.5
192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.10.133 dev ppp0
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

# Try to connect, no dice!
