km needs to add the opendns entries *after* the connection is established. It is being overwritten by DNS supplied by ISP but I don't think this is root cause of his problem.
As per that thread, there is an option Auto DNS, setting it off might help, as in the case of one of the people there.Thus, the /etc/resolv.conf file won't be overwritten.
The stock Ubuntu version ignores AutoDNS setting, works in openSUSE though.

is there a way it can be worked around in Ubuntu? It worked fine with doze.
I gave you a workaround; you have not reported yet whether it works for you or not.
read my other post, even though there is an option to ignore ISP DNS, the Ubuntu wvdial ignores it in and pops in the DNS servers from the ISP (this has been my experience).
Anyway, given that you have 2 NICs and now a Indicom connection (3 'net connections), you basically have a "def. route" routing problem.

It surely was this problem. :) Thank you very much all Linuxers for all the help with this issue. I finally got things working, although I do not completely understand how :P
However, I am really glad to post to the list from the `problem-machine`, of course the problem's solved
@Arun: the sources you've linked to here are great help. I am trying to catch up with the basics as much as i can. :) Thanks a ton.
