[Bug 259168] Re: Network Manager unable to connect to PPTP VPN (bad NT-Domain escaping)

[William Loucks]

We have been asked that if we are having troubles other than "Bad NT-
Domain escaping", to create another bug. I am fully willing to do that,
because I do indeed have other problems, but I see there are 4
duplicates of THIS bug, plus at least half a dozen other bugs for
network-manager-pptp in Intrepid, so by way of attempting to NOT create
another bug for my problems if one already exists, I spent the time,
below, to create a text-format description of network-manager-pptp
version 0.6.5's dialog, "Edit VPN Connection", which worked fine for me
in Hardy, most notably, in my case, for "refuse-eap" and the custom
routing. I have not yet found an already-existing bug for Intrepid's
network-manager-pptp which matches my problems, but if anyone knows of
THE bug which matches my problems (specifically  "refuse-eap" and the
custom routing), then please let me know its number. I will then wait
awhile and see if anyone has found such an already-existing bug for
Intrepid, and if so, then I will PROMPTLY subscribe to it; otherwise,
I'll create the new bug. Now on with the show. Below is a TEXT FORMAT
translation of the 0.6.5 GUI "Edit VPN Connection":
