Re: Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active?

["Dr. Diesel" <dr diesel gmail com>]

I can connect OK with my Windoze box, so I know I'm using the correct
password.  Connecting with vpnc gives me an incorrect password, but
the terminology is different, like what is a "secret"?  I must not be
entering the correct values since everything is named differently for
the console arguments.  The Network Manager gui worked just fine up
until that day!

Many thanks,
Andy
