Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
When I am connnected to a wired network starting from when I boot, I can
use Network-manager to connect to my VPN (pptp) without problem.
Similarly, if I disconnect the wired network cable before I boot and
connect to a wireless network, I can then use Netowrk-manager to connect
to my VPN just fine also. But once I have connected to the VPN, and
later change to a wired network from a wireless network (or vice versa),
I can no longger successfully connect to my VPN.
Where this can happen is if I first connect to the VPN when using
wireless, but then wish for the better performance of a wired network
interface. I acknowledge that I would need to reconnect to the VPN
after going to the wired network, but because of this issue that doesn't
work.
Here are the steps to recreate :
- Disconnect wired network cable,
- Boot Ubuntu
- In Network-manager, connect to a wireless network
Verify that wireless network connection is successful with ping
- In Network-manager, VPN Connections -> MyVPN
Verify that VPN connection is successful by pinging something on VPN'd network
- In Network-manager, VPN Connections -> Disconnect VPN
- Plug in my wired network cable
wait for Network-manager to connect to the wired network
(nm-applet will change to display icon indicating a wired network.)
Verify that the wired network connection is successful with ping
- In Network-manager, VPN Connections -> MyVPN
The syslog shows pptp with "Outgoing call established" , then after 10 seconds
pppd displays "Terminating on signal 15".
Network-manager then displays an error dialog titled "VPN Connect Failure" with
the text: "Could not start the VPN connection 'MyVPN' due to a connectoin
error. VPN Connection failed".
My wireless is a Broadcom 4306 on my HP Pavilion zx5078cl.
