You're using an invalid value for the gateway in the VPN connection
configuration:
Oct 1 09:50:14 mrshighpants NetworkManager[785]: <warn> VPN connection
'townofarlington' failed to connect: 'couldn't convert PPTP VPN gateway
IP address '209.6.3.281' (0)'.
209.6.3.281 is as invalid IP address -- each individual number separated
by dots cannot be higher than 255. There may be a typo, or one character
too much.
I'm closing this bug report since it is not a bug in the software used,
but a request for help. Should you need more assistance with this
particular issue, don't hesitate to click the "Convert to a question"
link on the right side of the webpage for the bug report, near the top.
Also, feel free to report bugs for any other issues you encounter.
Thanks!
