Clearly I should have provided a synopsis directly, but I didn’t expect something like ubuntu-forums.com to disappear. I’d like to be able to use this again, myself.

Turns out this was due to <strong>network-manager-pptp</strong> not being installed. For anyone that runs into the same issue as I did a simple install of this package should do the trick.</p> <p><code>sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp</code></p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-12-03:/id/153//comment_2871 2008-12-03T17:42:23-04:00 2008-12-03T17:42:23-04:00 Chris King http://www.rickyroad.com <p>Hey Rob,</p> <p>Works perfectly.

At the risk of being offensive, are you sure you hit all of the high points? I spent <em>a lot</em> of time looking around and tweaking things and this was the only path I could find that works. It was a frustrating road to travel. Like you, I depend on <span class="caps">VPN</span>.
