Connect to Windows Domain via VPN tunnel
 
I have my home network (connected to internet via VPN) and my "MS-based" work network (opened to internet via VPN).
In windows I can easily create two VPN connections to enter my Work domain, but how can I do that in Linux? Network Manager allows only one VPN connection...
The best way is to create pptp tunnel over configured in Network Manager ppp0. I've googled a lot but still didn't find any working example. Can u help with that?
May be u have any other ideas?
Thanks for answers :)

When I select "VPN Connections" under network manager and choose "Add" or "Edit", I have an option for Windows VPN (PPTP) that works fine.

I'm using Debian 5 (Lenny) and had to install network-manager-pptp, network-manager-pptp-gnome and pptp-linux. I vaguely recall having to remove some other package, but I don't know for certain what it was. Maybe pptpd.

(Might have been open-vpn or vpnc, though, I think one of those is more likely to conflict.)

Right, u can have many VPN connections. But only one active at the moment and I need two

Sorry, I misunderstood your plight -- didn't realize you were looking to have multiple *active* vpns.
