Yes, this looks very familiar, I'm 99% sure that is how far I got also using the ppp and pptp that Mandrake included with 10.0. If you choose to pursue this (which I would suggest, because you have all the tools you need to VPN into work, including remote desktop if you use that, so it's a waste of time to reboot to Windows if this is the only reason you are doing so), you will need to download ppp 2.4.2 and the corresponding pptp. -- Guy Rouillier
