Sounds like your DNS is not set up right. Is this a completely new 
install? If so check /etc/resolv.conf to see which servers it is trying to 
use to look up with.
Are you using dial-up service? I use kppp to dial up and it allows setting 
DNS servers within kppp. Check with your ISP to see which name servers 
they use.
