If you log into the remote machine, that one is
trying to find out on what host you are. So it consults
the DNS for the IP you got via PPP. But that DNS does
not answer (a guess, had such problems myself..)

So the local DNS/host file is working, but not neccessarily
the remote, because for ping the remote does no nslookup.

Here is another one maybe related: You did not set your hostname.
so for some services it is important to know how
your host is called.

Your nameserver says it is not correctly configured here.
So this may be another one why it is not working.
