 I have recently installed Windows 2000 Pro with Service Pack 1 on my 
 computer, but whenever I try to connect to Demon using Turnpike 
 (versions 5.01 and 6 beta 1) I am unable to get DNS. I can ping remote 
 machines using dotted quad addresses, so routing is working OK, but 
 translating host addresses fails.

 The connection property details are as follows:

 General
         Connect using Modem - Courier V. Everything V90 etc.
         Use Dialling Rules

 Options
         Dialling options
                 All unchecked except 'Prompt for phone number'

 Security
         'Typical' is checked
                 Allow unsecured password

 Networking
         Dial-up server: PPP; Windows 95/98/NT4/2000, Internet
                 Settings
                         Enable LCP extensions - checked
                         Enable software compression - unchecked
                         Negotiate multilink for single link connections

         Components used:
                 TCP/IP
                 Client for Microsoft Networks


 Ipconfig /all shows:

 PPP adapter Demon:

         Connection-specific DNS Suffix  :
         Description                     : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
         Physical Address                        : 00-53-45-00-00-00
         DHCP Enabled                    : No
         IP Address                      : 158.152.162.80
         Subnet Mask                     : 255.255.255.255
         Default Gateway                 : 158.152.162.80
         DNS Servers                     : 158.152.1.43
                                                         : 158.152.1.58

 I have received a lot of help from the folk in demon.ip.support.turnpike 
 but it mainly boils down to 'it works for them, but not for me'. I have 
 been re-directed here, and would be grateful for any help.
