Backtrack 5 R3 - Refuses to connect to VPN [on hold]

Backtrack 5 R3 - Refuses to connect to VPN [on hold]

I wanted to ask this on the Backtrack Linux forums but for some reason I
couldn't register, reading it was disabled by the administrator. So I
apologize if I'm in the wrong place (which I feel like I am, even though
BT is based on Ubuntu).
A week ago my VPN connections were fine. I'm using network-manager on
GNOME. My OpenVPN connections (done via terminal) also connected fine.
Now, out of nowhere, the PPTP VPN setup in my network-manager keep
reporting a failed connection, and when I try OpenVPN it reports a
success, but I can't access the internet. If I enter in a site it just
hangs forever :(
The same VPN with same config, same credentials, same everything works
perfectly on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Windows 7 (I have a triple boot). I did
not run any updates or upgrades since then. What can I do?
