To diagnose this, list readers need a more coherent test. In other words, pick a host outside your network with HTTP service that you know is up (WWW.SLB.TO, 128.248.230.104, for example). Try 'traceroute -n', 'ping', and 'lynx' using the IP address only. Then try the same things using the machine name instead. Maybe try the same thing with FTP (but make sure your client uses passive mode, particularly if your network is NAT'ed). If anything fails, report the *exact* commands you used and the *exact* error messages.
