[hcflinux] Problems with only one provider (t-online)

[John Spray]

Hi Markus,
Sounds like a DNS problem - try manually setting your DNS server address(es) 
for t-online in kppp (an account option).  If you don't know those addresses, 
you can find them when connected in windows by running "winipcfg".
