 Another regular problem is the announcment of the nameservers. Too 
often the ISP doesn't announce the nameservers in a sane way even though 
your connection runs fine. So if a ping 141.1.1.1 works but ping 
cns1.cw.net doesn't you need to add the nameservers by hand to your 
/etc/resolv.conf. Either ask your ISP for the nameservers or check 
another system which works flawless.
