Yep. It was empty. I put in three of the dns servers I knew, and now
it's flying.

Thanks!

I don't think this should be here if you have the plugin for pppoe
loaded.  I don't think it gets used anyhow in that case.

But if everything works by IP but not name, then you probably just have
the wrong settings in /etc/resolv.conf for the nameserver.

Check your /etc/resolv.conf for PPP's DNS servers. If it is empty or has
the wrong DNS IPs, then your PPP or resolvconf setup is messed up.

If resolv.conf is correct, try to traceroute to each of the DNS server
IPs and see if you have a routing problem to them.
