You didn't give the exact steps you were using for your VPN connection.

Follow these steps:

VPN Client Setup:

Fourconfiguration files are involved:

  • /etc/ppp/peers/myvpn
  • /etc/ppp/options.pptp
  • /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
  • /etc/ppp/ip-up.local

/etc/ppp/peers/myvpn:

# replace the bracket paramters with the host name of the VPN server and VPN user
remotename myvpn
linkname myvpn
ipparam myvpn
pty "pptp [vpn server] --nolaunchpppd "
name [username]
usepeerdns
require-mppe
refuse-eap
noauth

# adopt defaults from the pptp-linux package
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp

/etc/ppp/options.pptp:

lock
noauth
refuse-pap
refuse-eap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
nobsdcomp
nodeflate

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

# Secrets for authentication using CHAP
# client server secret IP addresses
username myvpn password *

/etc/ppp/ip-up.local:

#!/bin/sh
network=`echo $IPREMOTE | awk -F\. '{print $1"."$2"."$3".0/24"}'`
route add -net $network $IFNAME

Start the VPN client with:

$ sudo pon myvpn

End VPN connection with:

$ sudo poff myvpn
