Subject: Windows VPN Connection from Ubuntu
From: eric.cope at gmail.com
To: plug-discuss at lists.plug.phoenix.az.us

Hey all,
I am trying to connect to a Windows VPN from my Ubuntu machine. I was able to connect with standard settings on my XP machine, but Ubuntu keeps saying "The VPN connection failed". 

Any help is appreciated.
Eric
