Why do you have it set to 'search yahoo.com'?  ARGH!

I suggest that you remove the first line since:

	search localdomain

is the default and you don't need to enter it.

I presume that your have a network nameserver on address 192.0.0.2.

Your problem is that for some reason KPPP isn't automatically loading your ISP's 
nameserver addresses.  Do you have the ISP's: "Domain name" set correctly in the 
"DNS" tab in: "Accounts" section of the KPPP configure dialog? (click the: 
"Edit" button).  And, on the same tab, do you have: "Automatic" checked in the 
radio?
