Ok, I've done lots of searches through the archives here, and a fair bit of reading. Found quite a few similar problems to mine, but none of those helped out...
I haven't been able to get my DNS to work. I can ping out to an IP address, but not to a named address. Took my system in to my LUG today, set it up on their network, got some help, and got it to work.
Once I got the system home I boot up and go in to change the network settings back to my home system (DSL w/ static IP address running through a Linksys 4port router using DHCP, all of which works great for the two Windoze systems I've got in it). Well, seems linux used dhcp to get numbers, no problem with that. I go in to check stuff, looks good.
(secondary question: how can ya set it up NOT to use dhcp? I'm working as much as possible in command line instead of X, since that's what I want to learn from Linux)
Anyway, I'm at the point now where I was before. I can ping to an IP number, but not lookup any addresses. I can get a ping from my router, and also from outside sources, but when I use nslookup or ping to a name address, it doesn't get anywhere. Gives me the error message of 'unknown host' (ping) or 'no servers could be reached' (nslookup).
Getting rather annoying now, especially since it WAS working at the meeting today.
Any hints/comments/suggestions/help?

Appreciate the help...

-only been using Linux for 2 weeks, and haven't managed to get very far, but I've had a helluva introduction to the command line ;)
