John,
This is a DNS issue; the computer cannot find a route to a nameserver. Do
you have /etc/resolv.conf? If so, what does it tell you? This file resolves
DNS names to their IP addresses and if it cannot reach a DNS server it has
no idea where to send packets. Your ISP probably has the DNS servers you
should use and their IP addresses should be in /etc/resolv.conf.
As an example, this is what my LAN hosts have in /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.55.1
nameserver 74.40.74.40 # Frontier DNS server ns1
nameserver 74.40.74.41 # Frontier DNS server ns2
nameserver 127.0.0.1
HTH,
Rich
