Possibly yes, possibly no. But how can anyone tell you, when they don't
know what modifications you have made?
Once you have told us, try:
% ping 212.58.224.126
and see if it returns:
212.58.224.126 is alive
or
no answer from 212.58.224.126
That is the BBC web site. If that works, but your can't get to
www.bbc.co.uk, it is probably a DNS problem.
But until you say what you have done, we have no way to help.

Then you probably need to make sure that /etc/resolv.conf is
set up correctly and that "dns" is on the "hosts" line in
/etc/nsswitch.conf.

I had a brain bypass there. As someone else pointed out, you need
/etc/resolv.conf right too. The IPs are the addresses of your name
servers, which your ISP should give you.
sparrow /export/home/drkirkby % cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain althorne.org
nameserver 212.67.120.148
nameserver 212.67.96.128

You should have a line like:
hosts: files dns
in /etc/nsswitch.conf
If it just says
hosts: files
then that is your problem. I suspect that is what it is.
