PPTP VPNs don't show up in network menu
 
Hello, I'm trying to get the a vpn connection to my university working under Ubuntu 7.04.

I followed these steps to get the right things installed::confused:
Quote:

You will need NetworkManager installed:
Code:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp

Then, a network icon will appear in your notification area. Select it, and then select VPN Connections > Configure VPN. Add your VPN to the list, and then in the terminal do the following:

Code:

sudo NetworkManager restart

Click the icon again, and go to VPN Connections and then select your VPN. Voila. You're connected!
The problem I'm having is that I cannot see any PPTP connections I make when I click on the Network icon> VPN Connections>. I can however see the fake OpenVPN connection I made.

Any ideas? :confused:
