I'm trying to configure under Linux (Kubuntu 9.10) a VPN I already use from Windows.

I installed the network-manager-pptp package and added the vpn under Network Manager. These are the parameter under "advanced" button:

Authentication Methods: PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, SMCHAP2, EAP (I tried also with MSCHAP and MSCHAP2 only) Use MPPE Encryption: yes Crypto: Any Use stateful encryption: no

Compression: Allow BSD compression: yes Allow Deflate compression: yes Allow TCP header compression: yes

Send PPP echo packets: no

When I try to connnect it doesn't work and this is what I get in the system log:

Does anyone has suggestion on what can be the problem and how to make it work?
