I have setup some dial-in lines using ppp, but when I dial in and
start ppp it refuses to use the nameservers. All works well for
connecting to our site with the ppp, but if you try to telnet to some
other site directly from the connecting PC you get a 'no DNS entry for
...'
However, if I telnet to our site then the nameserver will work and let
me telnet, ftp etc. on to some other site. (I hope that not too
confusing)
Here is the ppp.conf file I am using.

default:
disable lqr
set debug phase lcp chat
set timeout 0
set ns 204.91.99.128 164.109.0.23

set ifaddr 207.86.0.130 207.86.0.145 netmask 255.255.255.224
