You have to either fill in dns server addresses during
the setup or use the IP number for your target instead
of the www.mysite.com name.  If you have some other
working computer on the network you can find the IP
number with 'nslookup www.mysite.com' or just
'ping www.mysite.com'. 

If you do want to fill out the dns info, you'd find it
in /etc/resolv.conf.
