unable to browse the internet



Hi, 
    I just installed potato and setup my net connection, but iam unable
    to ping any external internal internet address.

    Iam used pppconfig to set my isp up (which connects fine), but i
    tried nslookup and get 'command not found' (which package do i need
    to install for this) i have added my isp's dns addresses to the
    resolv.conf file, but still the same.

    I cannot ping any ip addy's names (eg ping www.freeserve.co.uk),but
    i can ping the inet address my ip gave me: 62.137.216.56.
    i also cannot ping any internet ip address ( used nslookup on my rh
    box to find debian.org's ip addy and it worked on rh, but still
    nothing on debian)

    So looking at it i havn't set up dns correctly.

    Ive tried changing 'search localdomain' to 
    'seach www.freeserve.co.uk' in my /etc/resolv.conf, but still the
    same
    Ive included some output of my files below:

    -------------
    /etc/resolv.conf:

    search localdomain
    nameserver 195.92.195.94
    nameserver 195.92.195.95
