Are you running your own DNS server? If not, are the servers you are trying to get to registered with your ISPs DNS? Unfortuantely most of the DNS troubleshooting apps (like dig and host) are missing. However, ping should resolve names, if your DNS is setup correctly. What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like.
