This is wierd.
I just got openvpn working using HotspotVPN's openvpn service.
After the connection, however, the resolv.conf file is not updated with the DNS servers supplied by Hotspot. So I manually added the server to the resolv.conf file.
Now, I have no problems doing nslookups on an xterm but opening the website in the browser errors out unable to find the site. Typing the site's IP works. its something to do with the way OS2008 handles DNS.
my resolv.conf looks like this:
127.0.0.1
nameserver 216.240.130.2
Any help would be appreciated!
