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.

HTH
