Firstly, someone said it might be a problem resolving the localhost name.
This is easily detected and fixed though.
Do a cat /etc/hosts
It should start with
0.127.0.1 localhost localhost
If you do not find that line, then su to root and edit the file so that it is
in there.
As far as dns lookups are concerned, try
dig www.example.com
or
dig www.yahoo.com
Those shouldn't take more then one or max two seconds. If it takes a long
time (like 20+ secs) then you might consider contacting your isp or change
the order of the dns servers in your /etc/resolv.conf file.
