Check your /etc/resolv.conf file. You should see something to
the effect of
domain <isp domainname>
nameserver <ip address of dns server>
That will be followed by any additional nameservers you have.
Most ISPs supply two.
If you don't see that there you can fill it in yourself.
This file is generally filled in by kppp but I am betting
wasn't in your case. Probably
due to an issue with permissions. KPPP likes to run setuid
and cannot write to the
/etc/resolv.conf without permission to do so.
Sounds as if you have already discovered the next thing I'll
mention but just in case:
Edit the file /etc/ppp/options to remove the line containing
"Lock".
KPPP does its own locking and having the lock there will cause
the connection
to die on you.
Hope that does it.
