Maybe you haven't already configured your DNS (domain name server). This
is the machine from your provider that resolves names for you. The
documentation you got from your provider must have it's IP number.
You'll have to create a file in your /etc/ directory called
¨resolv.conf¨. There put the domain name of your provider and the IP
number of their DNS. Here goes my resolv.conf:
domain cce.usp.br
domain search
nameserver 143.107.253.3
