Find out your ISP's DNS servers address(es). As root, edit /etc/resolv.conf The format follows:
nameserver 127.0.0.1 # This identifies your machine locally. nameserver 198.xxx.xxx.xxx # This is your ISP's DNS server ip address nameserver 198.xxx.xxx.xxx # ISP's backup DNS server. Now as others have sugested, use ping and see if you can ping by name like this: ping www.debian.org see if you get a reply.
