ppp, no dynamic dns

[Rikard Borg <rikard.borg@erab.se>]

Hi list,

I have a small 500Mb installation of Woody, basic X stuff etc...
ppp was setup with pppconfig (it did not detect my modem on /dev/ttyS0
which had to be set manually)

When dialing to my ISP (pon 'provider') I should rescieve a nameserver IP.
However I can only ping others by IP, not by names. The file /etc/resolv.conf
exists but is empty. If i try to add nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf
they are temporarily moved to /etc/resolv.conf.ppp.bak when dialed in and
restored afterwards (cause I say my ISP will give my the DNS?).

With plog there is a complaint about
"... cannot find ethernet ... PROXY APT ...", Sorry but the exact 
phrase is in my box at home. Apart from this the connection seem
to work well.

Finally, my account at the ISP is without username/passw, it is hardwiered
to my phonenumber. Could this make the dial-in scripts fail?

thx

Rikard
