Bug Description
The boot order has changed from Breezy to Dapper, now /etc/init.
The work-around would be to disconnect (sudo poff) and reconnect (pon), but a real fix is changing the boot order back to how it was set up under Breezy. I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't even notice that the ppp connection is up and that the DNS is being mangled, instead they will assume that there's no Internet connection after boot-up, despite having configured it that way. In addition to that, bringing up a working Internet connection on boot up is vital for headless servers, so I consider this bug of high importance.
Here's how I fixed it:
sudo mv /etc/rcS.
By the way, /etc/rcS.
Thanks for fixing this problem,
