What is in your /etc/resolv.conf? I have seen some people incorrectly put
their own IP or 127.0.0.1 as nameservers when they are not even running a
nameserver.

I personally run my own local nameserver (bind9), so I do not have to
constantly fetch names from the internet (since my adsl ISP's DNS was
initially sluggish). I also added forward and reverse zones for my LAN,
so local connections are quicker (no DNS timeouts trying to resolve names
for private IP's).
