VPN connection failed

(I’m probably going to have my forum account revoked due to excessive usage :))

I’m setting a VPN connection on openSUSE 11.2. Using the networking icon on the tray I add a PPTP connection, set it up but I receive a message ‘VPN connection failed’.

Googling it up I tried changing a setting called ‘refuse-eap’ to ‘yes’ but it doesn’t seem to work.

Here’s the result from the log file:

RedeDoDudu is my wireless connection on eth1. eth0 is my wired connection and is (always) unplugged.

Can someone help me?

Greetings,

I’m having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Thanks.
