I am very very new bie in the world of Ubuntu. I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 and I am not able to connect to Windows VPN.

When I login to Windows 8 I am able to connect to VPN using default Windows VPN connection.

Any help pointers?

How to set up VPN in Ubuntu (when you know the parameters to configure):

Click the network icon in the panel → VPN Connections → Configure VPN.

Enter settings, optionally mark Connect automatically, Save.

addvpn4

You can connect via the network icon in the panel.

connectvpn

Ps. If you're trying to connect to a Windows VPN and still not working, try the below method suggested by Jason Rowe:

Try going into "Advanced" on the VPN tab and enable "Use Point-to-Point encryption (MPPE)", set security to "All Available (Default)" and tick the boxes for "Allow BSD data compression", "Allow Deflate data compression", and "Use TCP header compression".
