Intermittant DNS problems

[jim lawrence <fedorajim gmail com>]

OK i have a Notebook with a intel 2200b/g wireless  and a good old
regular cat5 port
 if I use either one of them,  I lose the ability to browse to other
pages than the Current one that is displayed. Not sure if it is named
that is causing all the problems or if it is cache-nameserver.  As I
type this message, i can ping any IP address  out there but if I try
to ping by name  e.g www.google.com,   i get a unknown host response.

[root JimsNotebook ~]# ping -c4 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

[root JimsNotebook ~]# ping -c4 24.93.1.118   <-- A DNS server from my ISP
