can you say for instance "ping 202.54.6.161"
If you can, and suppose you type "ping giasmda.vsnl.net.in"
and you can't ... it means you need to type "man resolv.conf" after
that and understand what /etc/resolv.conf does for you.
Read the DNS-HOWTO and learn to setup your own caching only
nameserver... basically I strongly suspect that the problem you're
having is, you don't have any nameservers to resolve hosts for you.
Since i'm in a nice mood right now, put this into your
/etc/resolv.conf [ as root, and them chmod it to 677 ] :
search vsnl.net.in
nameserver 202.54.6.35
nameserver 202.54.1.30
