Thread: VPN to Windows Servers

so i've tried every tutorial, created own pon , poff configs, yelled @ network manager few hours, , otherwise pulled hair out on one.

want connect laptop (lucid lynx) work's vpn (windows servers) can control machine remote desktop. step 1) vpn causing headaches.

settings have work on windows xp , on mac (snow leopard), wont work on ubuntu.

network manager says vpn failed start. syslog barks invalid gateway.

here's full syslog output

code:

sep  4 00:28:46 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  starting vpn service 'org.freedesktop.networkmanager.pptp'... sep  4 00:28:46 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  vpn service 'org.freedesktop.networkmanager.pptp' started (org.freedesktop.networkmanager.pptp), pid 2730 sep  4 00:28:46 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  vpn service 'org.freedesktop.networkmanager.pptp' appeared, activating connections sep  4 00:28:46 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  vpn plugin state changed: 1 sep  4 00:28:48 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  vpn plugin state changed: 3 sep  4 00:28:48 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  vpn connection 'pirnie' (connect) reply received. sep  4 00:28:48 stinky64 networkmanager: <warn>  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): vpn connection 'pirnie' failed connect: 'invalid gateway 'gateway''. sep  4 00:28:48 stinky64 networkmanager: <warn>  connection_state_changed(): not process request because no vpn connection active. sep  4 00:28:48 stinky64 networkmanager: <info>  policy set 'auto eth0' (eth0) default routing , dns. sep  4 00:29:01 stinky64 networkmanager: <debug> [1283574541.001385] ensure_killed(): waiting vpn service pid 2730 exit sep  4 00:29:01 stinky64 networkmanager: <debug> [1283574541.001494] ensure_killed(): vpn service pid 2730 cleaned up

i should note gateway not called 'gateway' put value in it, gives message when connecting via network manager.

bump!
