Check aither your /etc/resolv.conf on this machine, and your DNS server,
one is broken, so the ISP's addresses cannot be resolved.


/etc/resolv.conf must contain:
    domain              mydomain
    search              myserver.mydomain       mydomain
    nameserver          192.168.1.1 (if its your svr IP address, of course :)
