But I actually meant DNS. ;)

Nah, don't be so pessimistic. My IPCP module creates a default route for me and 
I added the DNS servers manually.
The first name is resolved in Net+ when surfing to any web page. The second try

The only problem I have is that I cannot remove the default route. DNS works 
exactly as well as for you two.
