You have a problem with DNS name resolution. Most probably there are no
nameserver records in the /etc/resolv.conf file on your computer. When you
use option 'usepeerdns' in /etc/ppp/options PPP daemon will accept list of
DNS servers from your provider and put appropriate 'nameserver' records in
file /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. Therefore, you need to copy that file to
/etc/resolv.conf when connection is established (you also may use a
symbolic link instead of copying the file). If your ISP does not transmit
DNS server addresses when your computer connects to ISP, you can ask your
ISP about those addresses and manually put them into /etc/reslov.conf.
Alternatively, you could run your own DNS server (caching only) on your
computer.

Hello,
I installed a ADSL Modem that uses unicorn chipset (IceData500), compiled
the drivers, and configured pppoe to connect to my ISP Provider. I am
using Red Hat 7.3. Everything went fine and I am able to connect to my ISP
(when I do a ifconfig I can see the connection and I am able to ping the
DNS servers of the ISP). My problem is that if I do a ping with a name I
get an error message saying "host unknow". For instance, if I do ping
www.google.com I get the error message but if I do ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
for the DNS address of the ISP everything goes fine. Could anyone give
some hints please. I am new to linux...
Thanks in advance,
Vasco
