I personally use PPP's built in dialer without much hassle, but that is
not an issue. If you recall, in the install for AmiTCP there was a place
for a DNS server. Did you put in the IP of your DNS there? If not, that
could probably be your problem. If you did put it there, was it the IP
and not the name? If it was the IP an not the name, I dunno! I have no
other ideas past that.
