Hi,
 Here is how to fix the problem - start kppp, click on the setup button, you
will be  in the accounts section,  edit your dial up account (whatever you
named it), click on the IP tab, then uncheck  Auto-configure hostname from this
IP. Once it is unchecked click ok, then click ok again and restart your dialup.
