Hi, Brian. As Jeff Licquia's issue is already covered by #1003842 and you have posted information here that indicates the existence of another real bug, I am taking the liberty of retitling this report to address _your_ bug.
NetworkManager is registering the VPN nameserver addresses under the name "NetworkManager" but pppd, started by nm-pptpt-service, also registers those addresses, under the name 'ppp0'. The registration by pppd should be eliminated. The hook script /etc/ppp /ip-up.d/000resolvconf (included in the resolvconf package) will need to be changed so that it "exit 0"s if it sees that NetworkManager is the one running pppd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994575 Title: /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/000resolvconf should "exit 0" if pppd was run by NM, since NM will register the nameserver addresses itself Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a VPN set up in Network Manager, which worked well when my system was running 11.10. After upgrading to 12.04, I've noticed that DNS changes needed by the VPN aren't happening. Hosts that only resolve within the VPN won't resolve, and hosts that are supposed to resolve with different IP addresses inside the VPN don't. I can see the new, proper nameserver configuration in /var/run/nm-dns- dnsmasq.conf. I can resolve properly if I query the name server directly, i.e. "host <name-to-resolve> <vpn-dns-server-ip>". And, if I use that IP address instead of the name, I can successfully do things like ssh. But simple resolution appears to still be using the old name server. At one point, I killed off dnsmasq and wrote a new /etc/resolv.conf with the VPN name servers. That worked, but caused all manner of problems later.
