You can set that in kppp, under your account in the 'Dial' tab. Also, under the 'DNS' tab, make sure that the 'Disable existing DNS servers' box is checked. Lastly, uner the 'Gateway' tab, select 'Default Gateway' and check the box for 'Assign the default route to this gateway'. Your /etc/resolv.conf file should NOT have your ISP's DNS entry in it.
