ln -s /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 203.128.5.100 #kppp temp entry
nameserver 202.165.244.2 #kppp temp entry
and this is the /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf:

You messed your network up with your command
ln -s /var/run/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Just for curiosiity: Why did you use this command and what purpose should it have?

An explanation of dial-up lines and the proper reslv.conf can be found in thread http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showpost.php?p=210659&postcount=2

As soon as you have corrected your error your network should work again.
