Sep 15 19:56:36 localhost pppd[2559]: secondary DNS address 209.244.0.4

I noticed that the Local IP and Remote IP address changes all the time but 
the
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS stays thesame as shown above:
I might say I issued this commad many times.
Primary DNS address stays the-same at     :    209.244.0.3
Secondary DNS address stays the-same at :   209.244.0.4
but Local IP and Remote IP changes each time.

May I also add that using "http://216.239.39.99" got me to Google's page 
with ease.

Please can anybody make sense out of this so I can browse the web using 
Mozilla 1.6
I dont know what else to do, Linux makes me feel so stupid.
I will appreciate and try any help, any quess, solid or not.
