dhcp

Hello,
I recently changed internet providers and so changed from a pppoe
connection (using pppd) to a dhcp connection (using dhcp-client). In
the original setup I was using dnsmasq to act as a dhcp server and dns
server to a home network. There were no problems with the setup.
I changed providers and so switched from using pppd to dhcp-client.
Dnsmasq was no longer able to provide dns lookup for client computers.
I replaced dhcp-client with dhcpcd and installed resolvconf but it's
still not working.
From what I understand, in the original configuration, dnsmasq should
read from /etc/ppp/resolv.conf to provide dns server information. When
I switched to dhcp, that file was no good anymore, but once I install
resolvconf, I expect that dnsmasq should read from /etc/resolv.conf, but
it seems that is not happening.
I'm running debian sarge. Can someone give me some tips to debug this
problem?
Thanks.

Good day, eh.
