Actually, I found out that i just needed to add "usepeerdns" to the wvdial file under /etc/ppp/peers. wvdial interacts with pppd so that apparently pppconfig doesn't touch its config files, though they use the same format.
Thanks for the advice, though! I'll probably need to swtich to pon/poff later anyways... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Cymbala" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Lily O'Connor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 9:07 PM Subject: Re: wvdial/ppp config question > > Would you consider using pon to conntect to your ISP? > It can be configured with pppconfig.
