Title: VPN Connects Successfully & Then Shortly Thereafter Fails Status in network-manager-pptp: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am able to successfully establish a PPTP VPN connection in Ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-24-generic) but after approximately 30 seconds to 1.5 minutes it will fail. During the connection time I am only able to load about 1-2 webpages and then they freeze and I cannot access resources on the VPN network. I do not believe this is related to my VPN server as I am able to establish VPN connections with my Windows machines and Smartphones all day long with no problems. Is there a solution to this problem?
