/etc/ppp/resolv.conf you should have one. I have no idea
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
why one wasn't created, but it should have
nameserver 151.164.1.8
nameserver 206.13.28.12
... in it. AFAIK, /etc/resolv.conf is a file generated by the
binary file, /etc/resolv.conf.tmp As I said, I think you need
somebody more knowlegeable about all this than me. I only thought
I might be of help since I also use sbcglobal.net and they seem
to do things a little differently than many other DSL ISP's.

Yes, "Everything just happened" for me. Other than some
initial problems when I first got DSL while usin 9.0, Mandrake
(cooker) installs have always configured eth0 for me after I
input the info during the install, and most all of the entries I
leave blank, or at default. About all I enter, IIRC, is
sbcglobal.net, my user ID and password. I don't start the connect
at boot, and I believe that is the default.
Then a rp-pppoe run of 'adsl-setup' to answer about a half
dozen questions. One of which one is to enter DNS, I just type
'server' and DNS is automagically obtained from sbcglobal.net.
Often after recent fresh installs (/home is saved), I don't even
need to re-do a 'adsl-setup'
I avoid usin Mandrake's 'drakconnect'. I believe recent
Mandrake versions install rp-pppoe when you choose 'adsl' during
install anyhow.
