What does your /etc/resolv.conf file look like? Is this machine supposed
to have net access? I don't run a DNS server currently, so for my
internal (non-internet) machines I just disable DNS lookups entirely. In
Linux I do this by unchecking 'DNS is required for normal operation' in
netconf, but I confess that I don't know what that actually does in the
config files. It doesn't change my resolf.conf, so there must be a flag
somewhere else that it turns off. Perhaps someone else on the list can
fill me in? 

On my Solaris machines (also non-internet) there is no resolv.conf at
all.
