What do you mean? dpkg -l network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp 0.7~~svn20081015t02462 network management framework (PPTP plugin) Btw, my university also support L2TP, I guess that this isn't supported now, right?

Doesn't help. /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-avahi-autoipd.action is guilty. it is trying to access org.freedesktop.nm_avahi_autoipd but like I said it is forbidden even for root. attached is a fix, that I created looking at other dbus permission files. > > > > > 5.

Lets rename this to 'shared with other computers (NAT)' Btw, nat isn't that simple, I need to see how this works, but for correct sharing a dhcp server is needed and also interesting to know what netmasks are used for network behind nat. > > > > > > > 6.
