It's Winter Break and I need to log into the Northwestern VPN, but alas - I've forgotten how to set it up and the Northwestern IT website isn't helpful (we don't support Unix, they say).
Here's how I did it on my Ubuntu 11.04 box:
If you get a "Connection failed because there were no valid VPN secrets" error, restart, and it should go away by itself.
Here's how I did it on my Ubuntu 11.04 box:
- Download the .pcf file and put it on your Desktop or somewhere.
- In terminal, run sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
- Click on the wireless icon on your Gnome panel, and hit Edit Connections
- Click the VPN tab, and the 'Import'
- Navigate to and select the .pcf file you downloaded earlier.
If you get a "Connection failed because there were no valid VPN secrets" error, restart, and it should go away by itself.
