What is in your /etc/resolv.conf? Do the correct name servers appear in

If you ping an ip address of a server, does it work? What about using an
IP in firefox?

If the name server is set up correctly in /etc/resolv.conf, but you're
not getting name resolution, make sure you can get to the nameserver.
Try pinging it and/or traceroute ( traceroute -p 53 <nameserverip> ).

do you have package 'resolvconf' installed? It should take care of your
resolv.conf file and configure it properly from interface-up-scripts.
