This sounds like a dns problem.  Right-click on the network icon in your 
system tray, and choose Edit Connection.  You should then see your connection, 
probably (but not necessarily) as eth0.  Highlight it and choose Edit.  On the 
IPV4 tab you need an entry.  In most cases you can simply give it the address 
of your adsl router or modem - often 192.168.1.1.  What that does is tell your 
application to go through the router or modem and ask your ISP to resolve the 
addresses you give it.

Let us know whether this solves it for you.
