I'm certainly no expert on ppp, however, it seems that your going to
want to add a dns entry to the /etc/resolv.conf file.  Talk to your ISP
and find out what you need to use for a dns server, then add the
information like this:

nameserver 201.101.101.101

Or whatever they give you for an IP address.  Don't know if that will
solve all of your problems but it will help eventually :)
