linspire not resolving addresses

I have installed linspire on a machine and have setup the netcard with a static ip.
The machine is not resolving the names. I can put the ip# in the address bar of mozzilla and it will show the page (pictures are missing and links don't work).
I can ping my name servers with no packet loss.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

I have them there, my resolv.conf shows them.
if you do nslookup on a website, what do you get?

run 'nslookup www.linspire.com' and dump the results.

also, shutdown IPtables if it's running, just to make sure your firewall isn't blocking DNS
nslookup www.linspire.com gives bash:nslookup: command not found. I think the only way to upgrade is via the internet which I can't get to :(

how can I shut down the IPtables?
