No, dnsutils is part of bind9, which is not Debian-specific. Then again, it's not responsible for the system DNS resolver either - that's part of libc6. > I can connect to the provider, run pppd.

What program is responsible for that? I meant /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. It is generated by pppd (?). I forgot /etc/resolv.conf, so cd /etc/ppp cp resolv.conf .. was the solution of my problem, thanks to everybody.
