Tom since you did not checked “automatically connect” you need to left click on the connection icon on your status bar and turn it ON from there.

I am just getting started in Ubuntu and Linux and ran into this problem. I used your solution (installing the 3 packages). They installed without complaint. But now I am at a loss to activate the program. In windows at work I have a desktop icon to click on and it opens a gui to connect and use other features.
I assume there is no gui for vpn on Karmic Koala, so what command do I use from a terminal? I tried “man vpn” and got a “no man entry for vpn” message.

All working ideas accepted gratefully!!

Thanks.

Tom

If you have no internet connection then download the packages to a USB stick on another computer. Then put the USB stick in your computer and double click to install via package manager.

Hope that helps,
Craig

I get the same foremetioned issue, however I can not connect to the internet to download the package because i need the PPTP VPN connection for my internet access…
So this is a chicken vs egg story for me…
Any solutions or help for me?
