I am stuck. I went back and did a full Feisty install after reading a lot of suggestions in Ubuntu launchpad and Ubuntu forums that this might be a good idea. I have network-manager-pptp installed.
I only can see the vpn connections from the network-manager menu when my eth0 (wired) is enabled or if my wireless card is put into roaming mode. However, in roaming mode, I cannot connect to my network. I use a 128-bit pass phrase. When I try to connect, I get this error: Oct 10 19:42:44 slapazine NetworkManager: <information>^IWill activate VPN connection 'arl_vpn', service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ppp_starter', user_name 'cnorton', vpn_data 'ppp-connection-type / pptp / pptp-remote / 70.88.243.245 / usepeerdns / yes / encrypt-mppe / yes / 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 / 1404 / mru / 1416 / lcp-echo-failure / 10 / lcp-echo-interval / 10 / ppp-extra / / ppp-debug / no / usepeerdns-overtunnel / no / routes / 10.100.0.0/16 / use-routes / yes', route '10.100.0.0/16'. Oct 10 19:42:44 slapazine NetworkManager: <WARNING>^I nm_vpn_manager_activate_vpn_connection (): nm_vpn_manager_activate_vpn_connection(): no currently active network device, won't activate VPN. So, I may only have one problem, but I see it in two parts. 1) Why does network-manager require that eth0 be activated to display the VPN Connections menu? 2) Why is the connection failing? Any help would be appreciated. I'll upload any files you would like.
