Do you have the "usepeerdns"-option set in ppp/options? If so, a quick glance at `man pppd` wouldn´t hurt ;-) If, for whatever reason, "usepeerdns"-handling is broken, simply edit ppp/ip-[up,down].d/0dns-[up,down] accordingly. >Of course I can edit my dialin script so it overwrites the file with the >data I want, but I would like to know how I can pppd stop from beying >annoying. OT: I have difficulties believing that anyone besides our local $quasimonopolytelco is stupid enough to provide adsl-service only over a poor excuse for a protocol like pptp. Life never ceases to amaze me, though. hth, &rw -- / Ing. Robert Waldner | Network Engineer | T: +43 1 89933 F: x533 \ \ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | KPNQwest/AT | Diefenbachg. 35, A-1150 /
