Make sure your /etc/resolv.conf file has the appropriate dns servers for
your ISP.  Should looke something like below..

domain		yourdomain.com
search		yourdnsdomain.com
nameserver	1.2.3.4
nameserver 	5.6.7.8

Or are you setting up a dns server?  If so, then you'll need a whole new
set of instructions for that.
