put the ip's of the name server's in /etc/resolv.conf
eg
nameserver 192.153.156.22
etc.
you can but up to 3 in there. If you look you'll see that Kppp put's them
in there when it's running.

I can ping any ip address I want, works fine, but if I do say "telnet alf2.tcd.ie" I get "alf2.tcd.ie: Host name lookup failure". The settings I gave to RhDuCT seem fine, and they work with Kppp.
