This is just a quick follow up to my previous post about connecting to a Windows VPN (pptp) from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex). Using the tip from lloles that was left in the comments, I managed to go to this post on the Ubuntu forums dealing with configuring routing for the VPN. Thankfully, it has worked. However by doing this, I’ve run into another problem. Insteading of pasting my entire problem here, I will link to the post dealing with my Internet being very slow after I connect to a windows VPN server. It’s such a weird problem. I haven’t looked much into it, but I’m just so confused. Hopefully I will have some sort of good news to report once I figure things out.

Sunday, November 16th, 2008Back in April, I wrote a post about how to connecct your Ubuntu box to a Windows VPN server linking back to another person’s blog explaining the setup. The install itself was pretty bumpy, but ultimately worked. If I recall correctly, the information in that post was mainly for Gutsy Gibbon. After upgrading to Hardy Haron, I was never able to get the VPN working again. I kind of left it like that. Now that I’ve installed Intrepid Ibex, I started working on trying to get VPN to work again. And thankfully after a few hours of work, I got it working in Gnome. I make no assurances that this will work with KDE or any other enviornment. Here is the process.
