Hi everyone

So network connectivity mostly works on my laptop.  HTTP works, but 
other protocols are inexplicably not working.  I can't ssh to or even ping
isun.ucdavis.edu--host unreachable each time.  "DNS woes?" thought I to
myself.  So I checked.  Now things get weird:
1) my resolv.conf has primary DNS 204.127.129.1 and secondary
204.127.160.1 [1]
2) tail /var/log/messages |grep pppd shows primary DNS 12.102.240.2 and
secondary 204.127.160.1
3) Ergo, the primary DNS servers don't match.  What gives?  Whence this
interloper, and why did it appoint itself primary DNS server?  How do I
fix it?
And, most importantly, does that account for my inability to ping hosts
that I know are up?

Thanks...

parents' connection.  Yes, they're correct--I double-checked.
