I am no expert by any means, but the problem I was having sounds simular. I had a fresh install on friday, I could get to the web but dns resolutions were incredibly, slow and timing out most of the time. But my box is now working perfectly. #1 you dns nameservers addresses need to be in /etc/resolv.conf this still did not solve my problem but it should. I had to cvsup my /usr/src and rebuild my world and everything works perfectly. I do not know if something changed in the sources but it worked for me.
