How does your 'route' result look like when you're connected?

sounds like your dialup provider isnt giving you any dns.

You could use the cd's and install bind/named

and set your dialup connection to use the local machine as a dns server.

just install named and start the service
service start named

use setup to set named to startup on boot.
