Hi there.

I'm just curious as to why this is.

When dialing up to an ISP with a windows machine, DNS servers are assigned.

When using "pppd call provider" on a debian box (or any linux box) a
connection is made, but no DNS servers
are automatically found.

Why is this? Why do i have to manually put in DNS servers in my resolv.conf
file when windows box automatically
find those values?

I'm sure there is something that i'm missing here, so please fill me in. :)

Regards,
