Re: [Scottish] VPN Connection
If you're using network-manager then I think the configuration is then stored in the gconf structures. On your old system, can you export the configuration? -Original Message- From: scottish-boun...@mailman.lug.org.uk [mailto:scottish-boun...@mailman.lug.org.uk] On Behalf Of Keith Wyse Sent: 11 December 2010 13:58 To: ScotLUG Subject: Re: [Scottish] VPN Connection On 2 December 2010 15:52, Ronald MacDonald ron...@rmacd.com wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Keith, Can you provide your vpn.conf?

Hi Ronald; I've gotten back to my computer and checked the things you suggest. I do have network-manager-pptp and network-manager-pptp-gnome installed both at version 0.8-0ubuntu3 As for the vpn.conf file, the files I could find were all under /var/lib/dpkg/info/ network-manager-openvpn.conffiles openvpn.conffiles openvpn.config these aren't what you're looking for though and appear to be to do with openvpn. Should this file be under /etc ? Can you point me in the direction of an example? Also I was using the network manager app to look at what I had setup, and clicked on the routes button and there were no routes. Should this have a route to the server's IP?

I've signed up with a couple of services and activated the accounts, and logged in through the web page, so that end should be working okay. I followed some instructions online; http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/07/jaunty-vpn-itshiddencom.html and installed all the software it suggests. I also tried installing all the network-manager vpn plugins I could find in Synaptic but this has not helped either. Can anybody tell me what's wrong?
