    Well i think you should check your
    Code:
    /etc/resolv.conf
    file

    yeah there should be a
    Code:
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    or 2 in there or if dhcp if it is in there then that means that your isp's dns has died/failed (ips's DNS servers are nortorios for not resolving) if you have a roter with DNS in it then the nameserver ip shourd be that of your router
