Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
First I can say that the package for MS pptp is missing by default in the DVD of *buntu's and the pool ?!
About the bug! I've got the missing .deb from the Internet, installde it - but no "VPN..." menu or similar appears in the Network Manager' menu.
After that I can see onle "pptp ... (generic)" item in the main menu (System - Applications). But it doesn't work at all.
Can't configure VPN connection to MS PC or even track the connection if it had started.
All pptp-related deb's are installed.

If you are not using NetworkManager to manage your interfaces, you will not get the option for a VPN connection.
You need to be using DHCP, and not have the interface described in /etc/network/
The package for PPTP is in the Universe repository, and you have to enable it before you will get access to it.
