Now one of my biggest problems with having any GNU/Linux-based operating system is that, for work purposes, I need to connect to a Windows-based VPN (Windows Server 2003). About a year and a half of on again and off again searching lead me to many dead ends. That is until I found Happy Linux Thoughts and the post about using network-manager-pptp called connecting to a Windows VPN server with Debian-based distros a few weeks ago. I was going to reiterate the steps, but I doubt I’d do a good of job as the author.
