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/NetworkMan ager: 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-overtunn el / yes / routes / / use-routes / no', route ''.
