After looking at the source code, I got this to work by adding a gconf setting. This setting cannot be properly set from the new network- manager-pptp UI.
I added a string type gconf key called 'refuse-eap' under the gconf path of /system/networking/connections/1/vpn and set it to 'yes' /system/networking/connections/1/vpn/refuse-eap = "yes" Obviously the '1' number there may be different for different users. -- Network Manager unable to connect to PPTP VPN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259168 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
