be sure its "nameserver" and not "nameservers" note the singular.

also it may be worth checking /etc/nsswitch.conf. be sure the line
that says "hosts" has the word "dns" after "files". it's possible
however unlikely that files(s) are missing. host resolution doesn't
require much to be a client.
if its still not working and you checked the above.. be sure that box
can out of the network with traceroute (use the -n option to not
resolve the ips) if it still won't work and network connectivity
is working..then..email again. traceroute to my ip if you want
