[newbie] dns quit working

For reasons I don't understand, DNS abruptly quit working on my Mandrake 7.2 box. It was working earlier today, then I was trying to configure Samba and it seemed to quit sometime around then. I don't believe I did anything related to DNS, but it quit working. I can ping by IP address all day,
