Sounds like the nameserver info is not set.  


Go to configure, edit the uni entry and make sure
you have the right nameservers set up.

You can check by dialling into the uni and looking at the
contents of /etc/resolv.conf. - it should have a set of
nameservers in it, commented as having been put in by
EzPPP.

/etc/resolv.conf needs to exist, have at least 1 blank line, 
and be world writable/readable.
