What about DNS... are you using your ISP's nameservers or are you using BIND
on one of your machines? If you can ping IP addresses on the Internet but
can't ping a host using its hostname, perhaps your DNS got messed up.
Something like this happened to me when a package fooled with
my /etc/resolv.conf file during an upgrade.
