Having a similar problem with MPPE. Applying the network-manager - 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu2 proposed patch from Bug #290468 appears to have fixed the dialogue box, but the VPN still fails. I can connect through the console using the PPTP plugin directly using the instructions from this page:
http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml For whatever reason Network manager still has issues with the PPTP plugin and/or with MPPE security settings. I attempted a fix from PPA but it made no difference. -- MPPE settings not persistant / not saved, resulting in failed PPTP VPN connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
