I'm trying to connect to a VPN inside VMWarePlayer running Lubuntu 12.04 but I'm not able to do it.

This is my NM's screen

Edit: Can't post screenshot

I can't change anything or connect to any interfaces via graphical interface. Is it normal? Apart from command line , how can I change network settings via GUI? There are no VPN connections or other options, it shows just the details of the packets exchanged.

I've no control over the router...I'm at office! By the way, why can't I connect to network with the GUI? Something like old Windows right-clicking on network icon? Is it a bug? I can only see network properties...i.e. I've configured VPN but now how can I use it??? There is no "VPN connections" like Ubuntu's... – user119668 Jan 8 at 14:03

you need to port forward from your machine to current VM. And also from your router(if any) to your machine. I use virtual box which gives option to port forward

But don't you have to connect inside Lubuntu to the VPN? Isn't there a connection icon anywhere...??? – user119668 Jan 8 at 14:23
