For faster service, ploease tell us when you get these kind of errors.
You could have saved a week an anguish by checking this instead of
fumbling with the DNS.  We ssume that when you say 'dial your ISP' that it
works unless you say otherwise....

Your ISP requires PAP authentication even though you've logged in
manually. Edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and make sure a 'set authname arifin' and
a 'set authkey your-password' appear in the profile you're using for your
ISP.  See the 'pap' profile for an example.

Please read the documentation.  The first thing it says that when you get
connected, this changes to 

PPP on arifin>

to let you know the connection is up.  If the p's don't become P's, you
goofed something up.
