Hi, I think that the bug is not solved, and now I have finally found a solution. Actually, I'm using Ubuntu Karmic Koala and pppd is at version 2.4.5 and I use wicd (so, I do NOT have Network Manager!)
Just install the 'resolvconf' package does not solve my problem: after a while (one hour for example) I can't access any page by using its domain name, but if I try to access to a particular page through its IP, there are not problems. So, it seems that the problem are really the DNS addresses. In order to solve the problem, I set the DNS addresses when I obtain the IP address for the eth0 interface (through 'dhclient eth0'). Since, I find many troubles in order to do this, I prefer to write down all the steps in order to make the system works. 1) comment the line 'usepeerdns' (by putting a # at the start of the line) in the /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider configuration file. 2) modify the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf configuration file in the following way: - add a line like the following: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222; (instead of 208.67.222.222 you should put the DNS address you want) Again in the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file, you have to modify the 'request' entry. After the word 'request' there are listed some words. You have to be sure, that the 'domain-name-server' word is NOT present (if there is, delete it!) Ok, it's done. Now you can do: ifconfig eth0 up dhclient eth0 pon dsl-provider Now, when you perform 'dhclient eth0', the DNS are setted, and the 'pon dsl-provider' command will not modify the DNS addresses! I know that the level of these explanations is very low (ie for newbie), but I've lost many hours in trying to solve this problem, and I have NOT find in the web a solution to this problem.
