Subject:   Can't get to Internet - Tinker with /etc/hosts?

I have two machines connected to a router using DHCP.
One is a freshly installed FreeBSD 4.7, the other one runs Linux.
They can ping each other.
I can access the Internet from the Linux machine, but not from FreeBSD.
On starting up, Gnome gave me a message to the effect that it couldn't
resolve the host name, and may be to go edit /etc/hosts.

Is it likely that I need to add anything to /etc/hosts to fix my problem?
What?
