PLEASE REMOVE, IT WAS A WEIRD VPN PROBLEM.
SORRY ;-)
** Description changed:
+ SOLVED. WEIRD VPN PROBLEM. SORRY

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
1) Ubuntu 8.04
2) Packages:
ii network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5
network management framework daemon
ii network-manager-gnome 0.6.6-0ubuntu3
network management framework (GNOME frontend)
ii network-manager-pptp 0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1
network management framework (PPTP plugin)
3) I expected ssh, http etc. will work properly through VPN.
4) With network-manager-pptp I can correctly connect to a VPN (like I did in
7.10), ssh to some server for example or do intitial http requests through
browser. After initial succesful login and issuing some commands that require
more output (like find /), ssh connection is terminated (freezes). Similary
after initial http request on a server main page appears, but clicking on some
internal links does not work - again connection is terminated. It seems like
all connections get dropped after being more active. If I just leave connection
open or issue commands that dont' generate much data (like just ls) connection
stays healthy.
It is not VPN server problem (checked with other computers) nor a ssh or
http problem (also checked).
I am using default options which pptp plugin offers (worked in 7.10). I
am attaching gconf file for this VPN connection.
Here is tcpdump of a sample connection (some data -> freeze -> just VPN
packets)
find command (data going through):
