Thanks for the reply!

Here they are:

root@debian[/home/finotti]#  ip rule show
0:      from all lookup local
32763:  from 192.168.29.120 lookup 10
32764:  from 192.168.29.120 lookup 10
32765:  from 192.168.29.120 lookup 10
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default


root@debian[/home/finotti]#  ip route show table 10
default via 192.168.29.1 dev eth0


Let me know if anything else would help.
