Assuming that it's a cable/dsl router, first thing to try is to go to
its configuration screen, and get the addresses that it is using for DNS.
At your workstations:
dig @ipaddress somename.org
where ipaddress is dns server's ip that you got from your router.
If that doesnt return an A record quickly then call your isp and ask
them what dns server addresses you should use. Put these into your
cable/dsl router configuration, save it, and powercycle/reboot everything.
More stuff for removing guess work:
edit /etc/host.conf (or equiv)
order hosts,bind
edit /etc/hosts (or equiv)
127.0.0.1 localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.sugapabloi.com alias.sugapablo.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy dell.sugapablo.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.zzz sony.sugapablo.com
128.2.194.8 www.wplug.org
This will break when you get new ip addresses.
To solve the problem that Kuzman is describing put your isp's dns
servers into /etc/resolv.conf and figure out how to keep your DHCP
client from overwriting it. Alternately just pitch the router off a roof
--or metaphorically pitch its DHCP server. Manual setup up of a small
number of machines is simple and methinks may have saved you this hassle
in the first place.
