Hi Phil, Thanks for your prompt response.
I have seen the settings dialog box; there isn't any option for "Use default gateway". Am curious to know one thing though, when I am behind the VPN my browsers are able to connect to the internet by using that .pac url; so could it not be possible that pidgin can also connect without requiring me to modify any vpn settings. I mean if another application can connect then why not pidgin? Regards, Bipin Mangwani.
