When you say all files, did you set up resolv.conf, host.conf, and hosts?
If not, check these files out -
resolv.conf should have at least one line with:
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX <- your isp's nameserver address
hosts should have (minimally):
127.0.0.1 localhost <- there should be a sample in your /etc
host.conf (which I believe is already set up in /etc):
hosts
bind
