Sound like the connection isn't complete, you need to do some thing to
enable to linux machine to know where to go looking for the information it
wants.

Check the file  /etc/resolv.conf and make sure that your nameserver ip
address is in there, sorry never have used REdhat but i believe there is a
network configuration program that will do these things for you.
