Hi George
Changed comp A as follows:
clay@loran:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain starnetusa.net
nameserver 216.126.136.250
nameserver 216.126.128.40

Changed comp B as follows:eric:/home/clay # cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain starnetusa.net
nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 216.126.136.250
nameserver 216.126.128.40

nslookup for comp B gave:
eric:/home/clay # nslookup yahoo.com
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.2: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 216.126.136.250: No response from 
server
*** Can't find server name for address 216.126.128.40: No response from server
*** Default servers are not available

nslookup for comp A gave:
clay@loran:~> nslookup yahoo.com
Server:  ns2.starnetusa.net
Address:  216.126.136.250

Copm B stil will not recognize the ppp0 connection. I cannot ping 
216.126.136.250.

TIA
