Ubuntu 8.04 tunnel failure
The tunnel connection has failed on my Ubuntu 8.04 workstation using Firefox 3.0.11. This happened in two stages.
1) I began to receive a pop-up window with the message "Connection dropped". After I while I figured out that the tunnel had indeed come up, and as long as I didn't click on "OK", the tunnel would stay up. Very odd, but I could work with it.
2) Suddenly the tunnel wouldn't come up at all. It didn't take long to figure out that pppd wasn't starting. What I haven't been able to figure out is why.
I manually removed the vpn components. Automatic reinstall of the components failed. I manually reinstalled them. Still no joy. Still no pppd. I can manually start pppd, so I know it functions.
Can anyone at F5 chime in with further troubleshooting tips? Any other Linux users experienced this?
