NetworkManager 0.7 & PPTP

Trying to connect to my work VPN with the networkmanager 0.7 pptp plugin does not work; the following text is from /var/log/daemon.log:

the line 'Received bad configure-rej:  02 06 00 00 00 00 03 02 07 02 08 02' seems to be where things go wrong. I can connect using pptpsetup and pon/poff; Anybody have any ideas about the networkmanager plugin?

Re: NetworkManager 0.7 & PPTP

where do you disable EAP at? I didn't see anything about it in the advanced window

Re: NetworkManager 0.7 & PPTP

Hello wizzard,
I had the same problem and googling I found your post. I fixed this problem by changing the /etc/ppp/options file. You just need to change the "auth" option to "noauth". I noticed this by looking at Ubuntu configuration.

Hope this helps.
