Ok, I will try again.  I have ppp working fine with my work dial in.  It
has a static DNS so setting up /etc/resolv.conf was no issue.  However,
I travel a lot and needed a nationwide ISP.  MSN was one of the few left
that provided unlimited for 19.99/month (IBM, GTE, MCI, etc all went to
hour limits).

Anyway, I have the ppp connection working fine.  It connects without
issue (which is surprising I didn't need to recompile pppd for MS CHAP,
it uses regular CHAP).  However, in all their documentation (for
windows) they say one must set the TCPIP dialing to get a server
provided DNS.  That a static DNS will not work.  My windows dial in
works fine with this type of setup.  Obviously my Linux set up is having
an issue.  I have looked all over MSN and talked to there support.
AGain, for windows they say it is server provided, and Linux isn't
supported.  Anyone have any idea?


Oh, on another note.  My work dial in does use MSCHAP (nt servers).  So
after recompiling pppd for mschap I got it all working.  However I
noticed that wvdial seems to not like usernames with format
"workgroup\\username" which is what is needed with our setup.  SuSEPPP
works (after editing chap secrets, it stripped off one of the \).

If anyone has any thoughts on my MSN problem, would appreciate.
