in our network, we should connect to internet using a VPN (pptp) connection. this one is used for accounting. for some reasons i want to use a VPN connection. when i connect to first VPN connection, other VPN connections are inactive (in NetworkManager of Gnome or in kvpnc of KDE). how can i connect to a VPN server through an already connected VPN connection?

You probably need to run your vpn client manually from the console, so the stupid GUI programs don't get in your way.

If you use gnome, perhaps this applet is a little 'smarter':
