shrew

I am using the shrew client to connect to what I believe is a Netscreen VPN.

Now, when connected, the client adds the VPN as the default route. I do not want this- there is only 1 network behind the VPN that I need to access.

I found that with the shrew client, you can change the "Policy" settings on the connection, and can add your own networks in that should tunnel over the VPN.

I do this, and add my network in, but when I connect the VPN, I get nothing. Can't access the network.

Any idea why this would be? I can see my network in the routing table, and its correctly pointing to the correct gateway. A traceroute shows all time-outs, so I can't be 100% sure that it is trying to tunnel over the VPN. Any idea how I can troubleshoot this?
