I had the same problem. John Rye identified what was the correct solution 
for me earlier today.  Below is our exchange:

Have you made sure you have the ISP's correct IP numbers in
/etc/resolv.conf?
Should read something like this:
     domain myisp.com
     nameserver 123.456.789.000
     nameserver 123.567.890.123

Have you entered all of the Identity info under edit-->preferences.
