NetworkManager makes PPTP VPN connection but it times out quickly; pon works

Binary package hint: network-manager

Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

Using network-manager, network-manager-pptp and network-manager-pptp-gnome. Attempting to connect to Microsoft PPTP MSCHAPv2 VPN with NetworkManager. The connection succeeds, including setting up correct ppp0 device, but then times out and fails within a short time frame. Alternately, connection via the command line with pon succeeds and does not time out. Also, the same PPTP MSCHAPv2 VPN configuration in NetworkManager works under Fedora 13.
