Edit /etc/resolv.conf and check. It should look something like:
search [your_ISP's_domain]
nameserver [isp's nameserver1]
nameserver [isp's nameserver2]
nameserver [isp's nameserver3]
Also, check your default route, and turn off linuxconf if it starts
at boot. I've known linuxconf to screw up settings.
