What DNS server are you asking to look things up for you. If the gateway works. Can you ping the IP address... (note google has many, many, this one) # ping www.google.com PING www.google.com (74.125.28.103)
Check your /etc/resolv.conf file for sanity. If you add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 and retry do you get an answer. Often the gateway device has a running name server. Other times localhost is listed (127.0.0.1) which requires a running and correctly configured name server on local host. Tools like "dig", "host", "nslookup" have options to test a name server and also disclose the hosts contacted for answers. Note Well (N.B.) that recursive name servers have come under attack and what worked last week may have been "restricted"/ "repaired" to not provide recursive name lookups that you did not know you depended on.
