Use linuxconf at the command line.  On the config tab you will find a
networking lable, the lables or config options are presented in a tree
format.  You would choose Name Server Specification (DNS).  On that panel you
can add information for the DNS servers your ISP makes available.  Try to
confirm that the entry for "set default route" is correctly pointing to your
"internet gateway box"

Let us know how it goes
