[Bug 908824] Re: Unable to connect to VPN as a non-admin user

[Brandon Ingalls]

I already have a tun device.
When I connect to the OpenVPN server I can see it receives an I.P.
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
          inet addr:*.94.*.52  P-t-P:*.94.*.52  Mask:255.255.255.128
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:70 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:139 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:39496 (39.4 KB)  TX bytes:22557 (22.5 KB)
If I try to load a site like ipchicken as soon as I get the connected message it will load but within seconds if I even try to ping google it will just hang there and do nothing. If I try to go to any website firefox will just sit "loading" the page.
I know this is not a problem within my network because if I use openVPN within a  XP virtual machine on my desktop (Same computer) It works just fine within the vm for as long as the vm is on.
