@Per, does the "workaround" of killing nm-applet and restarting it work for you?
@Per or @pat.pannuto: If you could provide an excerpt of /var/log/syslog for a successful connection, followed by a failed one and killing/restarting nm-applet and re-establishing a VPN connection successfully in one go, if possible, it would be very helpful... My interest is to know what changes between the first and second instance of nm-applet. I'm under the impression that the issue is caused by NAT outside the system, which causes a subsequent connection after a failure, with the same IP, to just hang there and eventually timeout. Whereas when nm- applet is restarted and a wireless (or is anyone using wired and can confirm this bug too?) connection established, the short DHCP lease makes it go through a different IP which will make it work. -- vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475814 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
