[vpn-help] Unable to access external sites while VPN connected

[Jim Harle]

Just curious, have you tried uninstalling the Shrew client and re-installing it?  The Windows 8.1 upgrade is known to break the Shrew client, although at least two people have reported a simple uninstall/reinstall fixed it (although that was not the case for me...I had to get more mean with it).

Recently I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 and also upgraded my Shrew Soft VPN Client to v. 2.2.2.  I am able to connect to my company's network and have access to all the network resources I expected.  The problem is if I open an browser and navigate to a web site that is not inside the network, I get a "Page not found" error.  As soon as I disconnect from the network, I have full access to the internet again.

Prior to upgrading I had no issues being connected to the network and browsing the internet.  My laptop has both wired and wireless connections and both are functional.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
