Hi,
I have a dialup modem.
Pppconfig configured the connection with 'nameservers dynamic'.
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf always contains:
nameserver 148.240.118.40
nameserver 189.209.208.181
Don't know. Have you contacted your ISP to see of they are correct?
DNS servers are usually under the ISP's address range.

Name: ns1.google.com
Address: 216.239.32.10
How did you get Montevideo UY and Mexico for the nameservers?
I do 'dig 148.240.118.40' and get
