Question PPP stopped working


I recently got my winmodem working and I was able to dialup, browse with Firefox, etc. Now I dialup and I can ping an IP but hostnames in ping or a browser aren't resolved. I just set up my ethernet connection with netconfig, and I'm thinking DHCP or something else I set up there is causing this. Still, I looked around the /etc/ppp/ folder and I can't find anything suspicious. What in netconfig can mess up my DNS with PPP?

Thanks,
Johnathan

/etc/resolv.conf should have the DNS of your ISP. Mine looks like this
Code:
nameserver 195.92.195.94
nameserver 195.92.195.95
If yours is empty ask Google to show you pages that contain the word nameserver and your ISP's name.

That worked perfectly, thanks! I guess netconfig removed that DNS information for some reason.
