Public bug reported: pptp vpn addin (v 1.7.2-1) to NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.100 is not working as expected or there is a secret trick to get it working :-)
I am already running the pptp-vpn connection from both OSX and Windows XP/7 so I am sure the windows ISA server is working. After connecting by lan/wireless or 3g, the PPTP addin is not able to bring up the tunnel. I have tried most of the recommended settings found in the forums; incl refuse eap and so on. The gateway is setup to point to the dns name available on the internet via the connection available. user name and nt domain as in windows/osx vpn. authentication all ticked off / tried with only mschap v2 also. allow bsd data, deflate data and tcp header compression - also tried different combinations. security set to all available(default). snip from syslog: Jul 28 08:52:14 remix NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin failed: 1 Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pptp[4222]: nm-pptp-service-4213 warn[decaps_hdlc:pptp_gre.c:204]: short read (-1): Input/output error Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pptp[4222]: nm-pptp-service-4213 warn[decaps_hdlc:pptp_gre.c:216]: pppd may have shutdown, see pppd log Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pptp[4231]: nm-pptp-service-4213 log[callmgr_main:pptp_callmgr.c:234]: Closing connection (unhandled) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pptp[4231]: nm-pptp-service-4213 log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:251]: Sent control packet type is 12 'Call-Clear-Request' Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pptp[4231]: nm-pptp-service-4213 log[call_callback:pptp_callmgr.c:79]: Closing connection (call state) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: 127.0.0.1[500] used as isakmp port (fd=6) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: 127.0.0.1[500] used for NAT-T Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: 79.138.250.76[500] used as isakmp port (fd=8) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: 79.138.250.76[500] used for NAT-T Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: ::1[500] used as isakmp port (fd=9) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix racoon: INFO: fe80::21e:68ff:fed5:b1c9%eth0[500] used as isakmp port (fd=10) Jul 28 08:52:14 remix pppd[4219]: Exit.
