km needs to add the opendns entries *after* the connection is
established. It is being overwritten by DNS supplied by ISP but I
don't think this is root cause of his problem.
I think km needs to verify his routing table as someone else pointed out
earlier. If he has multiple interfaces like eth0 and ppp0, his earlier
default route may be interfering even though ppp0 over WLL is
established.
km, after the connection is established do a:
# route -n
this will give your routing table entries. If the default route is thru
eth0 then you need to delete it (man route).
Alternately, before connecting to Tata, stop your networking
(/etc/init.d/<network-script-name>), connect to the ISP, this should
give you a workable routing table.
