I didn't know that there were ISPs that would knowingly permit just anybody to use their Domain Name Servers. It might not be a good idea at all to use some other ISP's Domain Name Servers. Doing so might result in giving the other ISP access to your login and password and other confidential data maintained and normally safeguarded by your own ISP. > It is always better to use your ISP dns servers because they answer > faster , but you may call your ISP with lsppp and before you hang up > go to the ip-up.bat before it is deleted and you will see the dns > numbers, write them down, insert them in pppdrc.cfg, wattcp.cfg, > config.tel, arachne.cfg etc.and you can use epppd. I've been there and tried that, and I have already mentioned that you cannot depend on this technique in the case of an ISP that relies on dynamic DNS assignments. The techique will work with "shentel.net" because shentel always uses the same DNS numbers. If you use LSppp to connect with shentel by using dynamic DNS assignment you will always get the same old DNS numbers assigned. This means that you could just as reliably use the same DNS numbers as static DNS numbers for connecting with EPPPD. In the case of "Access-4-free.com", the dynamically assigned DNS numbers that work for one session won't necessarily work in a subsequent session when the same server numbers are used as static DNS numbers for connection attempts using EPPPD, even if you are dialing the same access number you used in your previous session.
