You haven't got ``bind'' commented out, or missing, from /etc/host.conf
have you? Also, are the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf those of
your ISP? I use 2 ISPs and when connected to one can't get names
resolved if /etc/resolv.conf contains the IPs of the other (I know
this because one of them doesn't respond to the ``enable dns'' in
ppp.conf and update resolve.conf).
