Need help with ppp!
I switched to kernel ppp (previously tried user ppp)  
When I give the command: ppp-up 
the computer sits for about 2 min...doing nothing....then it dials and gives:

connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cuaa1
local IP addr 156.46.117.39
Remote IP addr 156.46.205.5
add default route: File exists
add default route: File exists
add default route: File exists

ifconfig -a gives the following:

ex0: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
	inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
	ether 00:a0:c9:0a:ca:d0 
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 156.46.117.39 --> 156.46.205.5 netmask 0xffffff00 
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

ex0 is my Etherexpress Pro/10 which is connected to 1 other computer.
Its ip is 10.0.0.1, and seems to be working ok.  However I didn't try to
ping the other computer its attached to yet.

PPP does give an IP number, like it should.
I don't know what the Remote IP addr means though (156.46.205.5)
I recognize 156.46.117.x as whats normally allocated for dial up
connections from my ISP.

But when I try:
ping home.netscape.com
or
ping www.yahoo.com
I get both times:
cannot resolve home.netscape.com (or www.yahoo.com) unknown host.

Here are some of my other config files:

==========================================
# Resolv.Conf
# /etc/reslov.conf

domain		genevaonline.com
nameserver	156.46.205.11
nameserver	156.46.10.20
lookup		file bind	

=========================================
#options
passive
persist
defaultroute
lock
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 10
netmask 255.255.255.0
domain genevaonline.com
mtu 1500
user (my real username here)
=============================================
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/ppp/ppp-up
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cuaa0 38400 connect '/usr/bin/chat -v "" ATDT249-9212
CONNECT "" '

============================================
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/ppp/ppp-down

p=`cd /proc; grep -l '^pppd' */status | sed 's,^\([0-9]*\)/.*$,\1,'`
#
if [ -n "$p" ]; then
	echo -n killing pppd...
	kill $p
	echo done
else
	echo ppp already is down 1>&2
fi
=============================================

Can any ppp experts out there help?
Please reply to my personal email address....as for the list generates too
many messages for me to handle.
Thanks!
