Hi,

My second netgear router has crashed in as many years, so I've decided to 
connect FreeBSD 5.3 via pppoe.

Configuration was a breeze, and I have complete functionality.  However, I 
can't determine what nameserver the pppoe connection is directing FreeBSD to 
use.

With the netgear router, the ISP nameserver was shown on the configuration 
screen, so I had assumed that this value was provided by the ISP's dhcp 
server.  Before I switched over to pppoe I simply added the router address 
into /etc/resolv.conf and it worked.  But now I can't figure out where to get 
this value.  I tried the gateway address provided to pppoe, but that doesn't 
work.

Can anyone direct me to a man page or some other resource that will help me 
get the proper information over to FreeBSD?

Thanks

lane
