Hi Charles, Once you have emerged ppp, then you should indeed have a net.ppp0 script that will work. It's a bit much for what is required, but works fine if you configure /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 as stated in the guide. I'm afraid I actually had internet access when writing the howto, and never really thought about how to do it without, I guess I should :-) As Duncan Sands has already suggested, the PPP config option should sort your DNS problem out, however I don't understand why your ISP should be giving out nameserver info that doesn't work.
