Help connecting to Windows VPN

    I've read through dozens of threads and howtos and websites but can't seem to find a solution for how to connect my Kubuntu box to a corporate VPN.

    From Windows, I'd do the following:

    * Use Network Connection Wizard to create a VPN
    * Give it a name
    * Enter the VPN server IP
    * Open it for all users
    * Double-click the VPN connection and enter username and password, click Properties
    * Options tab - tick all boxes
    * Network Management tab - Select Automatic, then TCP/IP, Properties, Advanced
    * General tab - untick the box so as to allow normal internet connection as well
    * DNS tab - add 10.0.0.2 and the DNS suffix COMPANY.LOCAL
    * WINS tab - add 10.0.0.2 and activate NetBIOS with TCP/IP

    Using network-manager or the pptpconfig tool I can't find all the same options and the connection fails with a MSCHAP authentication error.

    Can anyone help?
