I have a problem with trying to connect to VPN over linux. From OSX and Windows the VPN connection goes through fine.
It was working flawlessly, for the last one month I never used the laptop or the VPN, however after booting recently 1 week ago the VPN always show as timedout.
Some details about the vpn / pptp connection details:
MSCHAPv2 enabled
MPPE enabled
Allow BSD data compression enabled
128 bit security enabled
I can not help you. But I think you can help others to help you by at least telling which level of openSUSE you use. And if you have installed newer versions of the software involved above the standard levels belonging to that opeSUSE level.
Also, please next time when you post computer text do so between CODE tags: Posting in Code Tags - A Guide . This has several advantages.
Hi, I tried removing the rpm’s and re-installing to see if it works. But no luck till now.
I also wanted to add that this is something I have been seen from OpenSUSE 11.3.
Following seen on the logs after re-installation.

Following are the pptp RPM’s and versions version, which as been installed:
Dear opensuse expert’s & user’s, As mentioned earlier, at this point I am unsure if others are facing the similar issue on opensuse 11.4. Now i tried configuring the pptp over pppd to see if it works, isolating networkmanager and to enable a hand full of debug information. Also I noticed that pon / poff scripts are not included in the standard paths. Here is some more information for your reference, and for the benefit other members who may face something similar.

I would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on this matter.
I guess not that many people use pptp. I’ve got no idea how to help You. Why not report a bug on this ? The openSUSE bugzilla is available using the same login as for the forums.
I agree with @glistwan. It is no lack of willing, but lack of experience and knowledge about the subject that leaves you without any usefull reaction for three days now.
Try a bug report. You have allready gathered a lot of (let us hope usefull) information.
