I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty using the network manager package that comes with the distro. It is version 0.7.1~rc.4.1-0ubuntu2. The network-manager-pptp package is version 0.7.1~rc.4.20090316 +bzr23-0ubuntu3.
My PPTP VPNs get connected fine and traffic passes just like I want it to. The problem is that the VPN drops shortly after I'm connected. It seems to have something to do with the AMOUNT of traffic that goes through the VPN. For example, I can ping a machine on the remote network for a good while without dropping the connection, but if I bring up a remote desktop session, the VPN will almost immediately drop. If I log into, for example, the web interface on a router of the remote network, I can usually browser to two pages before the VPN drops. When the VPN drops, I get a "VPN Failed" notification in the Gnome notification window. It is almost like the VPN never FULLY establishes. The "VPN Failed" window is the same one I get if the VPN never connects at all. I'm using pretty much the stock options when creating the VPN, with a few exceptions: I specify a route for the remote network. I check "Use this connection only for resources on its network". I disable EAP authentication. I enable MPPE encryption and allow stateful encryption (have tried that both ways). If anyone has any ideas on how to get this functioning better, I welcome them. Thanks. Trey Nolen _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
