Re: DNS problem?

Try pinging an address like
69.147.114.210 (www.yahoo.com) and look at the last lines of
/var/log/syslog.
Unfortunately I can't ping this address and syslog does not show anything
more that the results for the connection.

It might simply be that there is no auto-magic setup for DNS by the
distribution.

What does it mean "auto-magic setup"? I noticed that /etc/resolv.conf and
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf are automatically updated with the correct
nameserver(s) lines

nameserver 193.70.152.25
nameserver 193.70.192.25

when I connect via my cell. Are those things related? I have just
installed a Debian Etch, maybe it's a bug in the pppd daemon (2.4.4) in
this distro?
Thanks for your patience.
