Hi group, I have a problem configuring Microsoft VPN(PPTP) on my openSuSE 10.2 machine.
I tried the NetworkManager with PPTP plugin to configure the VPN connection and set the following options: [main] Description=TTUnet VPN Connection-Type=pptp PPTP-Server=vpn.ttu.edu Use-Peer-DNS=yes Encrypt-MPPE=no Encrypt-MPPE-128=yes Compress-MPPC=no Compress-Deflate=no Compress-BSD=no PPP-Lock=yes Auth-Peer=no Refuse-EAP=yes Refuse-CHAP=no Refuse-MSCHAP=no MTU=1416 MRU=1416 LCP-Echo-Failure=10 LCP-Echo-Interval=10 PPP-Custom-Options= Peer-DNS-Over-Tunnel=yes X-NM-Routes= Use-Routes=no It fails with an error message: VPN Connect Failure Could not start the VPN connection 'TTUnet VPN' due to a connection error. VPN Connection failed And here is the log at /var/log/NetworkManager: Apr 9 17:34:10 daffodil NetworkManager: <info> Will activate VPN connection 'TTUnet VPN', service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ppp_starter', user_name 'surya', vpn_data 'ppp-connection-type / pptp / pptp-remote / vpn.ttu.edu / usepeerdns / yes / encrypt-mppe / no / encrypt-mppe-128 / yes / compress-mppc / no / compress-deflate / no / compress-bsd / no / ppp-lock / yes / ppp-auth-peer / no / ppp-refuse-eap / yes / ppp-refuse-chap / no / ppp-refuse-mschap / no / mtu / 1416 / mru / 1416 / lcp-echo-failure / 10 / lcp-echo-interval / 10 / ppp-extra / / ppp-debug / yes / usepeerdns-overtunnel / yes / routes / / use-routes / no', route ''.

Appreciate if someone could crack this puzzle and help me connect to the VPN at my university.
