Connecting to a VPN

[narkie]

Hello All!

I am needing to connect to a VPN to have access to my university's internet/network but I can not seem to find any documentation that will show me how to do this. (Well, documentation that works, anyway).

I am using Ubuntu Dapper, and I would need to connect to a VPN with a DOMAIN:

for example:
Username: abc
Password: efg
Domain: HIJ
address: KLM.edu.au

Anyone who has done this successfully, could you please post any comments on how you got this working, or any websites that helped you greatly. Alot seem to miss the important domain step.

Yours Sincerely,
Narkie

I've done this at my own school (also on a domain) using the pptpconfig program. This page on sourceforge has all the docs I needed to get up and running; distro-specific instructions are linked on the left side of the page, complete with screenshots!

Well, I have had no luck.

I asked the IT department, and the VPN Server uses RADIUS.

Has anyone had any luck with this?

I get the error of:

MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] auth not performed.

But the Support Documents on http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ does not help here.

try it with kvpnc. I had used it occasionaly on Suse, and it works fine. Try this link (it's debian, should work on Ubuntu) - http://homenet.corbina.net/index.php?showtopic=10506. It's pretty straight forward, so maybe you will understand (it's in Russian!). I have personally used this link to set up VPN on my Debian Laptop. Good Luck.
