Hello,

I am really new at this, but I am trying to setup a VPN to a remote computer.

At the terminal I ran the command:

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


Which seemed to execute just fine, but no new network icons appeared in my notification area.

I then checked under:

Applications -> Internet -> VPN Connection Manager (PPP Generic)

But for some reason it never executes by using the GUI, so I went to the terminal again, and did:

CODE
sudo /home/isaac/Desktop/nm-ppp.desktop


But get the error:

CODE
sudo: ./nm-ppp.desktop: command not found


Any advice on how to setup a VPN to my Windows computer would be very much appreciated.

I am using :

Ubuntu Feisty 7.04
Gnome 2.18.1
