@Alexander Sack RE: "1longtime, your issue is most likely bug 268667"

This was the first one I tried and bug 268667 fixed my problem. Thanks Alexander. After trying the suggested fix in that bug, my VPN connects successfully.

Oddly, when I tried to "undo" the fix, it continued to connect properly.

@Martin Pitt RE: intrepid-proposed updates

I did an "apt-get upgrade" with entrepid-proposed sources several days ago, before verified the source had updated (and accidentally updated quite a bit more than I expected... oops). I just did another apt-get update/upgrade and found updates for a number of packages, including a couple of pptp packages.

The VPN problem is still fixed, but because I couldn't rollback the fixes from bug 268667 we can't be certain that the updates fixed my issue.

@jmcantrell

Could not find advanced-dialog.c. I'm not sure how to apply your patch.

Another side-note: manually adding "refuser-eap" to ppp options fixed ONE of my Ubuntu boxes but not the other (the one I've been fighting with in this thread). Strange.

Thanks all for the help, but it was a very disruptive bug. Kinda shakes the faith a bit...
