check your named.conf file, it should contain this (in case of BIND 8)
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/path/to/file";
};
or in named.boot (in case of BIND 4)
cache . /path/to/file
the file "/path/to/file" describes the root nameservers in the world. if
you don't have this file, you can obtain it under anonymous ftp as
/domain/named.root on server rs.internic.net, or you can use the command
dig @rs.internic.net . ns > file
also, check your internet connectivity. obviously it has to be up so your
nameserver can resolve external domain names.
and of course, read through the DNS-HOWTO :)
