Here's a solution you may not like! If all else fails, connect to ukonline using Windows using their CD/helpline. Then copy the settings from dialup networking.
Tee hee... that's how I connect to them at the moment!It does seem to be the case that pppconfig has created the same settings for Linux as dialup networking has for Windoze. In both, dynamic DNS is set. I can set dynamic DNS in dialup networking and it works, but in pppconfig, it doesn't. And Windoze being what it is, that "Server Types" tab is all you get. There's no human-readable file behind it somewhere to pull extra settings out of.
Perhaps you would be justified in submitting a bug report for pppconfig?
I am no expert but it seems to me that you are hanging onto waitrose's DNS servers, so ukonline continues ok. I seem to remember being able to use Demon's DNS servers because they were publicly available (ie you did not have to login to Demon to use them). This was 2 or 3 years ago. I am not sure if that is still the case, and I am afraid I can't remember the adresses. Might be some mileage here though.Now, I can surf with waitrose (static), but not ukonline (dynamic); if I retrieve the IP address of a page while in waitrose, then kill waitrose and bring up ukonline, I can read the page, so most of it's working, just the dynamic DNS is dead.
