As you can see it does work, if you are prepared to wait. That sounds so much like a DNS timeout. What does your /etc/resolv.conf say? Can you ping the nameservers listed in it, if they are at all? If so, can you look up domains - $ host www.google.com ip.address.here Also, try a public nameserver - this one is a Freeserve.com one: $ host www.google.com 195.92.195.94 Finally, can you ping offsite, e.g. ping 195.92.195.94 That should at least prove things are ok at the IP level.
