Do you get any messages when you try to connect w/ lynx, netscape or gftp?

No, it just keeps trying to locate the site.

Do you not happen to be behind a firewall? The ports like 80, 21 etc.
may be firewalled by your provider to make you use his proxy and save
bandwidth a bit.

Make sure it's not the case. Can you e.g.

$ telnet www.yahoo.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

? - does it work?

Have you tried any of these programs with just an IP. I suspect that you
do not have DNS setup right. Get the DNS IP's from your provider and add
them to the hosts.resolv file. Good luck.
