kppp can't see dns servers

[Craig Hempenius <commanderdata@myrealbox.com>]

Hello,

I have developed a problem with kppp. Apparently it does not understand
where my DNS servers are. I found the following in the kppp manual:

10.10.1.7. 

KPPP reports a successful connection, but Konqueror just says Unknown host
hostname, and Netscape® reports The server does not have a DNS entry.

Try pinging another server by its IP number, e.g. ping 195.0.254.76. If that
works, you could try the following:

Check if you have provided KPPP with at least one DNS address.

Check the contents of /etc/host.conf. There should be a line saying
something similar to order hosts, bind. The bind keyword advises the
resolver library to include a name server query when performing an address
lookup. If such a line is not there, try adding it.

Well, my /etc/host.conf looks good.

pon/poff works fine and so does lppp (Libranet ppp) albeit connection is
slow but that's another problem.

Any advice is appreciated.
