OK, can the machine running BIND see the outside world? I woulda thought
it'd be better to set your DNS as your ISP's DNS numbers...?

Don't quote me, but I think Windows may have a variation in the way it
uses PPP ?
Are the settings: DNS, gateway etc on the Linux client the same as
what's on the windows machine?
