Hi, Dan. If I'm following you right, the system that has the direct connection is not able to ping, right? If you believe the problem to be DNS related (i.e., you can ping ip's but not names) /etc/resolv.conf is a place to look. Are there "nameserver x.x.x.x" lines in there? If not, then something has gone wrong with your dial-up configuration.
Typically the pppd daemon will get the dns servers on connect. If you don't feel like troubleshooting that, the lazy way is to manually enter nameservers (man resolv.conf).
