Hi all, I configured VPN connection to my university VPN server (Microsoft VPN) using PPTP on my Ubuntu 7. It works fine for few minutes and gets disconnected, thou the network icon(nm-applet) still shows as connected. I have to reconnect manually to get it to work. I am pasting below the debug messages from pptpd. Appreciate if some one can make out the reason.
