Hello,

I am using fedora 10 and I would like to connect to my work's vpn. Using windows xp I can connect without any problems. However, this is my first time using fedora so not sure how to do this, and I am a newbie at using fedora.

what I have noticed in connection manager I have a tab called vpn. However, this is always disabled. Is there a reason for this. Can I not use connection manager to connect to my work's vpn.I might be doing wrong.

I installed the pptpconfig client andI have configured the setting in pptpconfig as I do when I connect using windows. However, I am getting the following response:

Using interface ppp0pptpconfig: monitoring interface ppp0

Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1
MS-CHAP authentication failed: Authentication failed
CHAP authentication failed
Connection terminated.
pptpconfig: pppd process terminated by signal 19 (failed)
pptpconfig: SIGSTOP

Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Works admin would be best place to start.

Hi,

I'm also using Fedora 10, under WindowsXP vpn connection was immediately established.

I've have been searchin for pptpconfig, as NetworkManager was not behaving as other users described.

This link below helped me:
