What is in /etc/resolv.conf? If you do an 'nslookup - <nameserver_IP>'
using the values in resolv.conf, are you able to access each of the
nameservers listed there? Also, you you have a "search" line in
resolv.conf? If so, maybe you should try removing it because it tells the
resolver to check that particular domain first if you try an nslookup.
