So, pinging hostnames and ip's works.. what about ssh or telnet or ftp? Other apps from the command line? Other GUI apps? is it ONLY the browser that is having the hostname problems?
That sounds extremely odd.... I would suggest that maybe your browser has some sort of proxy configured, if it was only one browser...but two browsers have the same problem... What about lynx? the bare text-only browser? can you hostname surf there?
