Connection failed (vpn plugin failed)

Hi

When creating a pptp vpn connection I get the following error in syslog:

I have tried changing authentication types, disable PAP, when I try enable USe- Point-to-point encryption (MPPE) and select say 128bit, I select ok, go back in and my settings have not been saved. Not sure if it has something to do with this?

Any further information please feel free to ask.
