Can you ping that dns used by your isp?
Wow! Great idea!
No, I cannot. :-((

Do you have a firewall installed? If so, which one? because that
could be part of the problem.
Since Knoppix can see it and Mandrake can't, I suspect firewall
issues.
I tried to stop iptables via DrakServices (inside MDK control center),
it was already stopped, and shorewall (that was started), and nothing
changed.
Then I checked the DrakFirewall page, only FTP and SSH allowed
(shorewall was stopped anyway). With shorewall started, should I enable
DNS? if I understand the meaning of that page, not: I don't offer DNS
services to anyone (just to be sure)
Thanks

With iptables stopped, issue the following command:
iptables -L "note the upper case L"
If the chains are set to "drop", do the following:
iptables -P INPUT accept note the uppercase
iptables -P OUTPUT accept
iptables -P FORWARD accept
