It sounds like you're not getting a DNS server address.  Without being able to
connect to a DNS server your computer can't translate a website name like
www.example.com to an IP address like 127.0.0.1.

cat /etc/resolv.conf

If you don't see any addresses or if you see invalid addresses, then you have
found your problem.
