First some information.

What distro?


open a terminal and type in
Code:
uname -r
Paste results here.
Open a terminal again and type
Code:
ifconfig
Paste results here.

What protocol are you using?

It kinda looks like you're using Ubuntu so I'm going to go with that.

Code:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp
For Microsoft VPN
Code:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
For Cisco VPN
Code:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
For OpenVPN

Click on the network-manager in the system tray

Choose VPN Connections -> Configure VPN
Click Add (You might have to restart the network-manager to get the added VPN connection on the list
Code:
killall nm-applet; nm-applet &
)

Now the VPN connection should be shown in the network-manager

From his previous post it would appear he's using Fedora. Funny that you're having this much trouble with VPN. I experimented with SUSE for a few days and VPN was one of the few things I had no trouble getting going once I installed the correct package.

Fedora uses yum and not apt-get as a package manager. You might just try replacing the word "apt-get" with "yum" Although I have no idea if those packages are in yum or if they have the same name.

You could try PackageKit
Code:
yum install packagekit
It is a GUI front end to Yum and you can browse through the list of software.
