The problem is on your IP addresses.
laptop shortline mainline
192.168.192.4--------192.168.192.3-----------------192.168.192.1 <-
am I right??
The solution is to give different network address to your plip link
eg. laptop 192.168.1.2, shortline 192.168.1.1 (plip1) shortline
192.168.192.3 (eth?) and mainline 192.168.192.1 (eth?) then it should
work, if not e-mail me again.
(netmasks=255.255.255.0)
