+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #128094 +++ From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: I saw that Internet Configuration Wizard doesn't have a connection wizard for PPTP and/or L2TP that is used for cable connection through a dialer. Is this being taken care of? Most of the Israeli users need this kind of dialer.... Here Are some Sites that provide a good L2TP connection Script that can be a base to a Connection wizard in future Fedora releases: L2TP Daemon : http://www.l2tpd.org L2TP "Stand-Alone" Without a Daemon: http://cables2.netvision.net.il/linux/l2tp-dialer.tar.gz ---------------------------------------- All L2TP users will very thankful if you will create this dialer in Internet Configuration Wizard... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.3.17-0.FC2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: There aren't any steps... Additional info: -- Additional comment from mattdm on 2005-04-26 12:17 EST -- Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. -- Additional comment from johnthacker on 2006-10-28 12:40 EST -- Closing per lack of response to previous comment. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
Please, don't close this bug again! As of F8, there is still no support for PPTP. The pptp package is still not included in fedora DVD. It is available only in fedora online repository (formerly extras), but you need to connect to your ISP to download any package, dont you? Furthermore, it doesn't even contain the ifup-pptp and ifdown-pptp scripts, so one have to either write his own or to get them from another distro. Which is more than bad. Many friends of mine throw Fedora away simply because there is no way they can connect to their ISP with it. PPTP is about to be the most common way to connect to ISPs here (in Russia). All the local fedora-based distributions here have PPTP supported for ages. So at least it is not all too difficult to include such a support. So please, at least don't close that entry any more until it is actually resolved.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233961 is about the PPTP lack too.

Are there any plans to add the PPTP support to system-config-network?
Hmm, the RFE should be better put on NetworkManager. Sorry.
Is there a summary status somewhere on the PPTP support in fedora, and on the state of the system-config-network? Because I am entirely confused. NetworkManager seems to have some PPTP support, but what about system-config-network? And was the pptp package itself included in the core distro? Were the ifup/ifdown scripts written? etc. Is there something I can read about it, or can you provide some info?
s-c-network is going away... networkmanager will take over completly.
In what fedora release?
==== PPTP via NM is already done, L2TP is to be done next!!! ========= PPTP is easily configured via Network Manager since Release 11, and starting from Release 12 all necessary packages are at install DVD. I want to emphasize that L2TP support "out of the box" is very important for users in xUSSR. While L2TP connection can be configured via ppp command line scripts using xl2tpd, this way is incompatible with Network Manager. NM is much more attractive. As far as I know, Fedora/RedHat community is principal contributor to Network Manager development. Please be the first once again to implement integrated support of L2TP via Network Manager. "Upstream" feature request at Gnome.org: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554046> Dirk Bundies proposed the solution at: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/264691/comments/10>

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
