Need help connecting to vpn


I'm trying to connect to a vpn at my work, which i'm assuming uses a microsoft pptp. I was able to connect using the default tool in windows xp, but I can't get in in suse.

I have tried creating a dsl connecting in yast for pptp, but it does not seem to work. I also downloaded this kde application Kvpnc, but no matter how I configure it I can't connect. This is the information I have. I removed my router and tried connecting with suse firewall off. No luck. I'm using suse 10.2. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

remote server -> 64.235.193.2
domain -> internal
remote network -> have this info as well

kvpnc is a wrapper for a number of seperate vpn clients, principally vpnc, which is *not* of use to you here, as that's for cisco vpn's only. tried this? http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ kvpnc may well wrap that too...

Hello,

Yes I was aware of that client, I tried installing it but it asked to install like 20 gnome type dependencies that I don't have (i'm using kde). kvpnc does offer the choice to connect to microsoft pptp, but i could not get it to work. Do you know of any other kde specific clients?

well googling for kvpnc pptpclient says that that is one of the client it wraps... never used pptpclient, but can't really imagine it needing gnome stuff, othewise it'd have it's own ui and wouldn't be wrapped...
