Is your DNS set up correctly ? You can ``enable dns'' in ppp to get
it to try to set things up automatically (depends on the facilities
offered by your ISP). Otherwise, make sure /etc/resolv.conf has the
correct entries - check the man pages.
Lastly, if you're still having problems (and it's not a dns thing),
try turning off tcp extensions in /etc/rc.conf - it may make things
better.
