eznet vs DNS
I am using eznet under RH9 to dial Road Runner. Last week, I could dial in
and was able to access web pages, IRC, and email. Now, I can successfully
dial in, and I can ping IP address, but DNS lookups fail. Can anyone point
me to a possible solution? I do have a reslov.conf with the same namesever
information as my desktop, which connects through cable modem.
Any and all help appreciated.

An update...
I'm using Fedora Core 1, not RH9, and I have found some issues that have
resolved my problem...
The DHCP-client script was overwriting the /etc/resolv.conf script. The
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf script was not overwritten, but it was also not read.
I have put usednspeers into /etc/ppp/options, and them manually edit
/etc/resolv.conf when I want to use dialup, and let DHCP overwrite it when
I use ethernet. This does seem to be something of a kludge. If anyone know
how to do it better, please let me know.
Any and all help appreciated.
