As to Linux, you might need these options for your ppp configuration:
Code:
# Try to get the name server addresses from the ISP.
usepeerdns
# Use this connection as the default route.
defaultroute
Just a side note - if you configure your clients to to use their local DNS servers and not the DNS server from the VPN connection, you may not be able to connect to your Samba machine if you are connecting to it using ti's DNS name.
What would happen when a client wants to connect to your Samba machine, and you are using a private domain name for example - then the clients DNS server does not know anything about it, and thus you won't be able to connect to it.
If your clients use the DNS server that from the VPN connection, it will be a bit slower, but for sure that DNS server will know more
