My guess of the culprit would be:
Non-zero Async Control Character Maps are not supported!

Also thing to investigate:
Warning: can't open options file /root/.ppprc: Permission denied

Also try this from Ubuntu Forums:

Re: Can't connect to PPTP VPN
What PPTP settings are you using? I've had this problem for a long time 
as well, although I did manage to find a combination that worked. Give 
it a try:

Tick
- Refuse EAP
- Allow Deflate compression
- Allow BSD compression
- Require MPPE encryption
- Require 128 bit MPPE encryption
- Enable stateful MPPE
- Use peer DNS

Do not tick
- Authenticate peer
- Refuse CHAP
- Refuse MS CHAP
- Require MPPC encryption

 The good thing about the Dell Streak is that despite the larger
 screen, it has a lower screen resolution at 800x480. although many
 reviewers seem to think it's a bad thing. This makes things look about
 23% larger than on the Droid X and might just cross the line between
 pain in the eye to usable for you. :)

that is one sweet little tablet and I'm seriously struggling with 
whether or not to place an order for one!

 OpenVPN works quite nicely with Linux, Windows, and OS X.

I apologize for this being a bit off-topic, and I ask this of some 
clients when they want to access their Citrix servers from their 
iPhones, but why would one want to do something of this nature on a 
device that you'd literally need binoculars to be able to see the screen?

For a short time I dabbled with an SSH app on my Droid X so that I could 
connect to and interact with Linux servers that I've deployed, but found 
it all but impossible to see the screen thus rendering the application 
nothing more than something taking up space on my device. Now, it's a 
different story if the device is an iPad or Galaxy tablet device, but a 
phone?

 you would, of course, need a VPN server of some sort at the client
 locations.   If there is a linux server at each site, they could host an
 OpenVPN service.


Well, yes that's a given. I was a little preoccupied when I first posted 
so perhaps a bit unclear.

What I've attempting to do is make it possible for me to connect to 
clients' servers where RRAS service is already running using PPTP so 
that I can connect remotely while I'm running Linux on my laptop so I 
don't have to stop what I'm doing and boot Windows.

Last night after installing the necessary additional packages 
(NetworkManager VPN plugins) to make it possible to create a VPN 
connection using NetworkManager I can configure a VPN for use, but when 
I actually attempt to establish the connection it fails complaining 
about there not being a secret. I'll freely admit that as an IT 
consultant I've been away from Linux a bit too long and too deeply 
immersed in the Windows world due to client needs, but this one has me a 
bit puzzled.

Sorry, that's just me being out of date and talking crap.

I've never got on with NetworkManager-pptp in the past, so have used the base

I don't use an iPhone myself, just the iPad, so it's come in handy when on a 
friends/work mates wifi and wanting to check email, access content on home LAN 
etc.  On rare occasion I use free wifi, will also use VPN for all traffic. 

I also do the same with my R2D2 Droid ie connect thru VPN. I don't trust other 
peoples network too much.  View most as the seedy part of town where I make

Most of the time tho, I just use Artoo's wifi hotspot for wifi access for the

understood. I've grown a bit lazy over the past few years which is why 
I'm looking at doing it with NetworkManager rather than doing things 
with commandline tools and scripts. Mostly for the ease of use and speed 
aspect of it, so I can get as much done on the fly as possible without 
getting distracted. I'd like to be able to use C6 as much as possible on 
my laptop. I feel so out of touch with Linux these days because of the 
overwhelming use of the windows platform for my clients.

I need to get back in touch with my inner penguin; I miss him, but by 
the same token I just don't have the ambition I once had to dabble and 
tinker which is why I was so utterly impressed when I loaded C6 on my 
laptop and wasn't required to jack into the network get my wireless working.

We use OpenVPN for pretty much everything other than iPhone and

OpenVPN works quite nicely with Linux, Windows, and OS X.

Hi List,

 I'd like to be able to create VPN connections on my laptop to connect to
 client locations and I was wondering if someone could point me in the
 right direction for this information. I've checked on the wiki, but
 didn't find anything.

you would, of course, need a VPN server of some sort at the client 
locations.   If there is a linux server at each site, they could host an 
OpenVPN service.

 We use OpenVPN for pretty much everything other than iPhone and
 iPad which don't grok OpenVPN.
 
 OpenVPN works quite nicely with Linux, Windows, and OS X.
