Cannot connect to anything.

Output with the '-d' option is as follows:
#wget -d www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ides.zip
DEBUG output created by Wget 1.7 on solaris2.8.
parseurl ("www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ides.zip") -> host www.sophos.com ->
opath downloads/ide/ide
s.zip -> dir downloads/ide -> file ides.zip -> ndir downloads/ide
newpath: /downloads/ide/ides.zip
--16:15:27-- http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/ides.zip
=> `ides.zip'
Connecting to www.sophos.com:80...
www.sophos.com: Host not found.
So basically, the problem occurs on any web site with any user.
The network is up, there is nothing wrong with our DNS server.
The site cannot be pinged so must assume it is connectivity problem.
I feel that there is probably a config file in Solaris that needs something
added ...possibly to allow us to get out from the internal network to the
internet ...I am just guessing.
Cheers,
Daniel
