Comment 2 for bug 280926

I could not connect to my vpnc at work through kubuntu Intrepid, all worked in Hardy before.

Thanks to this bug entry i got it to work works, however I had to delete in .kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc the problematic settings, so from

Type=vpn
Value_data=<map>\n <entry>\n <string>Disable NAT Traversal</string>\n <string>none</string>\n </entry>\n <entry>\n <string>Enable Single DES</string>\n <string>no</string>\n </entry>\n <entry>\n <string>IPSec ID</string>\n <string>ipsecclient</string>\n </entry>\n <entry>\n <string>IPSec gateway</string>\n ....

to

Type=vpn
Value_data=<map>\n <entry>\n <string>IPSec ID</string>\n <string>ipsecclient</string>\n </entry>\n <entry>\n <string>IPSec gateway</string>\n .....

So no longer the entries Disable NAT Traversal and Enable Single Des
With 'none' and 'no' my connection still did not come up. The error was the same as in the bug entry:
