yes I think,

however, I allow incoming telnet , ftp and mail (smtp), does it enough ,

or I need to use no firewall option ?

you lack something, you must allow pop3 too in order to seng and receive mail.

something just cross in my mind, try to do this :
edit /etc/resolv.conf and change it like below :
search hitech.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 1.2.3.4 (your machine ip)

save it and try to do nslookup linuxquestions.org see the result whether it same with i give you the last time.
