would be great if you could tell us what kind of ppp connection. I.E. is
this over a modem or ppp over ethernet for a dsl connection or some kind of vpn
ppp connection. Given the limited information here the first thing I would
guess is the resolve.conf check /etc/ppp/resolve.conf and see if it is modified
with new dns when you connect if so then make a link from /etc/resolve.conf to
/etc/ppp/resolve.conf . If this doesn't work then I would check the
routing table on your linux machine with route -n. You should see
something to the effect</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

with any other interfaces you have. If you do not have at least these

about more than likely being the routing if your ppp peer does respond to icmp
