Hi Piero, here a simple tip to determine if you have a dns problem or have a connection problem. a)can you determine the IP address of you interface (eth0) b)can you ping you route ip address? c)can you ping 4.2.2.2 d)can you ping yahoo.com if d is yes, everyhing is ok if c is yes and d is no, you have a dns problem if b is no, you have a router problem if a is no, you have your interface not setup or other related problems.
