It is to be created in /etc. If you don't have any, create one
in /etc/ppp, and a symlink in /etc pointing to it. Basically it consists
of two lines - the two nameservers you will use and your ISP should have
provided. So it will look like:
nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.dd1
nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.dd2
If you don't have these details, check your network connection settings
in XP, and use the nameservers from there.
