Several people on this list have noted this problem:

I have encountered this problem not once but twice. The first time was upon installation. I was able to fix it using Dark Lord's advice to edit the nameservers declared in /etc/resolv.conf. Then yesterday the problem returned after running the Internet Connection Sharing wizard. The wizard did not change the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf, and I've searched in vain for files changed yesterday that mention "nameserver". Dennis's workaround of taking down the LAN before connecting to the Internet works, but does anyone know a permanent solution to this problem? Thanks, Warren -- http://www.srcopan.vze.com/
