Indicates the LAN clients don't have valid DNS settings. Check and
correct them. Either a local DNS or your ISP's DNS server IPs are
required.

The ethernet device for the DSL ppp connection is just a "dummy" and
needs no IP address. So its probably correct that it is shown as
inactive. Run /sbin/ifconfig to see it's data.
