Hello! I wrote about this months ago, and now I had some free time to look into the problem - only to find that it's too complicated for me to fix it on my own. The problem is my machine is configured via DHCP, but I need to use ppp from time to time. PPP adjusts resolv.conf and some routes for internet to work correctly. But dhclient-script messes it all up right on its next invocation (within seconds). This script should probably be fixed, but when I think about the right way of doing it (checking whether ppp is running and whether it has got any relevant dns addresses/routes and whether they should really be taken into account). I'd probably forget it and continue killing dhclient every time I need to use ppp, but it all works so nicely in Windows. Please, people, help me fix it :) Best wishes, Andrew P.
