[Bug 475814] Re: vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session

[Matt Trudel]

@Per, does the "workaround" of killing nm-applet and restarting it work
for you?

@Per or @pat.pannuto: If you could provide an excerpt of /var/log/syslog
for a successful connection, followed by a failed one and
killing/restarting nm-applet and re-establishing a VPN connection
successfully in one go, if possible, it would be very helpful... My
interest is to know what changes between the first and second instance
of nm-applet.

I'm under the impression that the issue is caused by NAT outside the
system, which causes a subsequent connection after a failure, with the
same IP, to just hang there and eventually timeout. Whereas when nm-
applet is restarted and a wireless (or is anyone using wired and can
confirm this bug too?) connection established, the short DHCP lease
makes it go through a different IP which will make it work.
