Hi Kobayashi-san,

You probably do not have DNS set up properly.  The easy way to do it is to
set up an /etc/resolv.conf file to point to your ISP's DNS servers.  Here
is mine using GIGANET's DNS settings:

  domain          giganet.net
  nameserver      210.134.143.7
  nameserver      210.134.128.8
  lookup          file bind

Ganbatte,

Mark
