Hi Dave,

I use wvdial on my Debian firewall/gateway/router and what I have done
to stop the changing of DNS stuff changing is:
<quote>
# cat /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial
noauth
name wvdial
#usepeerdns
</quote>
Note I have commented out the 'usepeerdns', this is so my
/etc/resolv.conf does not get over written all the time :-)

But under NM you can tell it to use set DNS servers that are provided
to you by your ISP.  It under the IPv4 Settings tab. Change it from
'Automatic (PPP)' to 'Automatic (PPP) address only' which will open up
the 'DNS Server:' lower in that window.

Hope this all helps abit

Regards
Dale
