Default DNS not working well on ubuntu8

Hi,

I am connected to the internet, and is able to ping with IP address. I
see in the /etc/resolv.conf file that the nameservers are listed
correctly. Also, I am able to ping the machines by hostname in my
domain, which means it is able to resolve the name. But when I try to
ping a Internet website by its name, say ping google.com, the ping
exited immediately, stating a unknown host. It looks like it never tried
to resolve it.

I am new to the Linux world...really frustrated by this. Please someone
help me!


Thanks,
David
