I would bet you need your ISP's nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf. 
You can edit this file manually or go back through your network config 
and enter them there (dpkg-reconfigure etherconf)... you might not have 
the etherconf package installed...dunno.

Here is what my /etc/resolv.conf file looks like:

domain loeffel.lan         <--my home LAN's domain
nameserver 24.28.131.113   <--my ISP's NS #1
nameserver 24.28.131.114   <--my ISP's NS #2

You should plug in the NS values for your ISP.
