As I mentioned in a previous article, the only problem I’ve had with my new Gutsy install is that there was no option to configure a VPN with NetworkManager, despite the fact that the plugin was installed. Well, I resolved that issue tonight.
As it turns out, the problem was my fault. I disabled Roaming Mode for my Ethernet connection, which is what tells NetworkManager to manage that interface. The fix is simple.
- Click the NetworkManager applet and select Manual Configuration.
- Click the interface you want NM to manage and click Properties, then enable Roaming Mode.
After I did this, I was on my company’s VPN with an RDP connection to my workstation within 2 minutes.
Let me know if this works for you too.
