"Resolving host..."???

| Just installed RedHat 9.0 with updates and everything works just fine,
except when I try to visit a new page, it says "Resolving host" and then
the URL to the page. And then it just hangs. What does this mean and
what do I do about it? (Its in Mozilla web browser.)

Apparently the required DNS information to access the Internet is not
available for use. Unfortunately you have not provided enough
information to offer any thing other then a 'stab-in-the-dark' to help
you resolve this issue, please read;

FYI: Red Hat Linux 9 is a bit old and has not been supported (by Red
Hat) for over a year, please consider installing something that is
still actively supported like Fedora Core 3/4 (staying with the Red Hat
Linux family); http://fedora.redhat.com/

Well, can you resolve hosts?
For example, what does the command:
host www.nytimes.com
produce (when you have logged onto your network)?
Have you got nameservers listed in your /etc/resolv.conf
file? Are they, for some reason, blocked?
