Can't get pppoe working on FreeBSD 5.2.1


Hi!
I just installed FreeBSD and have sound, printer, X windows and other things working.
But i have one little problem:
When i configure ppp to connect over Ethernet (PPPoE) and try to connect, all p's becomes capitalized, but I still can't get Konqueror to display *any* web page.
what I do is:

Code:
root@darkstar# ppp
  ppp> dial [my_ISP_config_name]
  Ppp>
  PPp>
  PPP>
I leave Konsole open, go to Konqueror and try to go to www.linuxquestions.org, and then it say it cant locate that web page (or something similar) and i think it mean's I am not connected to the internet!!! I saw somewhere an article that says I should be connected now!
Could anyone point me to place where I can find more info ( Yes I read the Handbook and *many* tutorials) or post ppp.conf for PPPoE?
Help would be very appreciated!

Can you ping IP out on the internet? Your ISP for example? How are you connected to ISP? Have you loaded DNS in resolv.conf?

I have edited ppp.conf and now I can ping and go to web pages, but only if i input IP adress instead of something like foo.bar.com. If I give a command, for example like this

Code:
root@darkstar# ping www.google.com
It says "host name lookup failure" or somthing like that. I think it has something to do with DNS and /etc/reslov.conf.
*Very* need help!!!

figured out my ISP DNS:
primary: 212.59.0.1
secondary: 212.59.0.2
Two questions still remaining:
How should I setup my /etc/reslov.conf?
How should I make DNS *work*?


PS:
Am I talking to myself?

lol, I was going to jump in and see if I could help (before I switched my router to NetBSD I was using FreeBSD for it) but I see you talked yourself though it.
