I think this is one of the bugs that I put into the system, and is still 
there, and we forgot to fix it sooner. The bug, is that ppp doesn't 
correctly set the DNS server, and the user should set it manualy.

Anyway, for the time being, as your ISP's DNS address. Every ISP should 
have a DNS server, with a dedicated IP address. Aske them this IP 
address, and then put it into the file /etc/resolv.conf


If your ISP refuses to give you their IP address, you can use my 
university's DNS server 193.140.41.94, but this is not recommended, 
cause using an external DNS server will slow down you connection. It's 
best to use your own ISP DNS server.
