[vpn-help] "negotiation timout occurred" in Ubuntu 10

[Glen H. Barratt]

Hi Matt,

I do see this pop up in my syslog when I try to connect:

Jun 23 15:52:10 cobra NetworkManager:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices
added (path: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tap0, iface: tap0)
Jun 23 15:52:10 cobra NetworkManager:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added
(path: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tap0, iface: tap0): no ifupdown
configuration found.
Jun 23 15:52:10 cobra NetworkManager: <WARN>
device_creator(): /sys/devices/virtual/net/tap0: couldn't determine
device driver; ignoring...
Jun 23 15:52:50 cobra NetworkManager:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices
removed (path: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tap0, iface: tap0)

(My computer's name is "cobra") ... Is there another log that might be
useful?

-Glen
