Thanks for the reply Mike. In order, here's what I've found:

1. "What does cat /etc/resolv.conf show?"

*# Generated by Connection Manager*
*nameserver 127.0.0.1*


2. "Can you ping www.google.com ?"

I opened a Chromium browser on the BBB (using a monitor connected by HDMI,
and a Logitech USB wireless mouse, and keyboard with USB) and got a *"This
webpage is not available because the server at goole.com <http://goole.com>
can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed."*

3. "Are the addresses in ntp.conf IP's or hostnames?"

When I try to execute *cat /etc/ntp.conf* here are my results:

*root@beaglebone:~# cat /etc/ntp.conf*
*cat: /etc/ntp.conf: No such file or directory*

Additionally, I attempted to run a dig command per the advice I received on
another forum and here is the result:

*root@beaglebone:~# dig feeds.angstrom-distribution.org
<http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org>*
*-sh: dig: command not found*

Thanks for any ideas or advice you have.
