Select this option if you want kppp to set the hostname and domain for your machine after successful setup of a ppp link on connect. This is done by quering the defined Domain Name Server with the ip assigned for the ppp link. This option is useful for those stand-alone machines which want to use protocols like talk which require the hostname to be the same as you machine is known in the Internet. It overrides the Domain Name Option in the DNS Section. The machine defaults are restored to the original values when you close the ppp link Be careful when choosing this option: It may prove useful to you, but it may also cause lots of undesired side effect. Just play with it ...
Specify the domain name for your machine. As with DNS Addresses it is restored to the original specified in /etc/resolv.conf when the conection goes down. If it is left blank no changes are made to the domain name specified in /etc/resolv.conf
Add the Domain Name servers assigned to you by your ISP. You must specify at least a Domain Name server for your OS to be able to resolve human readable ip addresses such as ftp.kde.org. The DNS server addresses supplied must be in numberic form, e.g 128.231.231.233. The addresses will be added at runtime to /etc/resolv.config.
Check this is you want pppd to use the default Gateway for your machine.
