Anarky, You've got a lot information regarding DNS now. Your problem is almost 100% certain to be at your ISP's end. Most modern ISP's assign DNS-numbers automatically, which works fine, provided you have a DHCP client running. That's why so many people here advised you to check the *dynamic* option i the dialers' setup. However, there are instances when an ISP use *static* DNS. For example, when I had an account from AT&T here in Denmark, I had to check *static* - and then manually fill in the numbers in dotted notation. That did the trick. Of course, you need to know those numbers. Only way to get them is from your ISP.
