adding to ugenn's post, add the following entries to your /etc/resolv.conf if it is not already there
search <your domain OR your ISP's domain>
nameserver <IP of your/ ISP's nameserver>
nameserver <IP of your/ISP's other name server>
You may use an editor like vi or gedit. For using vi, you need to open a terminal window and assume root privileges with the "su -" command. Alternatively you can press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login as root.
you can also
$ man resolv.conf
for more information about configuring resolv.conf.
