And where to set up that nameserver address?
Look in your AmiTCP/db/resolv.conf file ...
I had that exact problem after my ISP changed addresses but
did not change the address of their nameserver.

;domain names
DOMAIN myprovider.com
;name servers
NAMESERVER 206.154.169.32

Where the nameserver IP address is different from the ISP IP address.
