Hi Doug,

Nope, I'm not using named:
% ps auxwww | grep named
% grep named /etc/rc.conf
named_enable="NO"               # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # Flags to named (if enabled).
% cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain          umd.edu
nameserver      128.8.74.2
nameserver      128.8.76.2
nameserver      128.8.5.2

(The nameservers are okay, and nothing's changed there. My Windoz box
works fine.)   What I've noticed: It's not just that the nameserver
isn't available --->it's as though the route table isn't getting
entries added. (Or is that the same thing?)
FOr instance:
before I start any networking:
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       36       lo0
after running "ppp -auto xyz":
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0        0       lo0
128.8.74.2         default            UH          1       12      tun0
after connecting to my ISP:
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0        0       lo0
128.8.10.112       128.8.23.151       UH          0        0      tun0

and
% nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 128.8.74.2: Timed out
*** Can't find server name for address 128.8.76.2: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 128.8.5.2: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available

THanks,
david
