Hi everyone,

Hope you can help me resolve this issue.
Hotspot Shield connects to the VPN server no problem, but firefox/safari won't browse at all. Also, the "internet" and "server" icons turn red, in the "network diagnostics" dialog box.

Weird thing is, hotspot shield works on my PC, but not on this mac.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Using MBP with OS X 10.4.11.

Here's a screeny:

never had problems with Hotspot Shield on MB 10.5.x
Web Servers were reachable before connecting H.S. ?
Sure that good DNS addresses are in use?

Yeh, everything works great without Hotspot Shield, but once I connect to VPN I keep getting connection errors :S.

May be a problem of OSX 10.4
Check if the DNS address (System Pref - Network) is set to the single value 10.4.128.1 ( search domains = openvpn) after H.S. is connected.
This should be the DNS provided by H.S.
Browsers must not be configured to use Proxy

Thanks for the suggestion, but this doesn't fix the problem either =/
Must be the OS X 10.4.11 problem...

Oh well...
