I have the same problem that Tmanisaur said.

The option Network-applet->VPN Connections->MyVPNName is disabled, and I can not see any option to inform my login DOMAIN\username and password of VPN.

I already restarted my network with
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Can anyone try to help me ?

Hey,
I got my vpn-connection running. But when I connect it only asks me to type in my username and pwd.
Where can I actually get acces to the drive I want to go to?
I am very confused about this.

I’ve been having no end of difficulty trying to get this to work on a variety of distros. Currently am using 8.04.1 LiveCD – and while i am able to configure through the network-manager, I don’t believe that it is truly connecting. If I go ->Network Manager Applet->VPN Connections configureVPN is enabled but Disconnect is greyed out. No option appears available to start (or attempt to start) the connect.

eh, help?

I have installed and configured. I am able to connect to PPTP, but it is very very slow. If I connect to the same PPTP server from Microsoft Windows, then it works well and I am able to work on the connection. While connected from ubuntu, it is really slow.

Any idea what is wrong? I am using 8.04 ubuntu

This all went well, however if I am using a 3g card with the vodafone drivers – the new VPN config that is created is greyed out and not available fot select – If I am on a wired/wireless network, it can be selected – is this because the 3g card is seen as a modem and how do I change it?
