Good article,

My syslog says it's trying to make the connection using my username from the client rather than the username on the server that I type into the Authenticate Connection dialog box. I don't see anywhere where I can tell it not to use the client user name.

I tested this at work, where I have a wired ethernet connection. Everything works fine. I'd love to know how to tweak my wired environment at home to achieve the same results.

I am running a fresh install of Feisty, and trying to get network-manager-pptp working. I can create a vpn connection. I am getting these errors.

thanks for the help - question: I'm using wireless networking but cant get VPN to connect over that. message is "Oct 14 14:22:53 server1 NetworkManager: {WARNING}^I nm_vpn_manager_activate_vpn_connection (): nm_vpn_manager_activate_vpn_connection(): no currently active network device, won't activate vpn "

any thoughts? Do I need to reroute somehow, or will it only work over wired?

2007-04-29T07:43:00.000+01:00

I can actually connect to the VPN but when I ping the VPN or try to use a terminal server client, it won't budge. Pinging wil result in ping: sendmsg: operation not permitted and the terminal server client just times out. I know this must be a firewall issue (iptables) but you would think that network-manager-pptp would solve this??

my problem is i was able to install network-manager-pptp and was able to create a connection through the wizard. my utimately problem is when i click the network icon->VPN Connection ... the profile/connection is shaded and is not clickable.
