Its not the nameservers, i know those are correct. Problems, i cant even get to the nameserver. All i seem to be able to reach is the gatewayserver whne i use its numeric ip, everything else doesnt seem to excist, even when i try numeric ip's.
I had a similar problem when I was running the tcp/ip under os/2. The problem then was that I had my dialer set up to dial the nameserver instead of the gateway. Under Os/2, I didn't have to worry about any name resolvers, (that was all taken care of automatically), but I think that under Linux, you may need to check your hosts file to make sure that it is not specifying your ips's nameserver dns number? I do know that I had to set up resolve.conf (via yast) so that it looked at the dns number for my ips's nameserver, and then my hosts specifies a different number for my ips? (Mainly because I remembered the problem that I had with the tcp/ip dialer connection under os2). Whoops, I just checked my files, both /etc/host.conf and /etc/resolv.conf list the same number, but I believe from when I first installed Linux, both had to have an entry that pointed to your ips?

Unix is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
