This could be a workaround: Not sure, but you can try "chmod a-rx /etc/resolv.conf" My guess is you'll receive a "permission denied" message and that's all. But if it doesn't works, you can restore your permisson in that file with "chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf" HTH, RSalles John Locke disse: > Hello, all, > > This is more a Linux networking issue than strictly OpenVPN, but I'm > sure Linux laptop users will run into it. > > Here's the basic setup: > > * Mandrake 9.2 Linux laptop, connecting directly to a variety of > networks, usually Wi-fi. > > * Using OpenVPN to connect to a Mandrake 9.1 workstation behind a > firewall, using a routed tun connection.
