I wonder if your DNS servers are confilicting with the ones that your DSL 
providers want you to use. I would try removing them and then restarting the 
network on your machine. 

I have been running linux for years now, and mine was auto configured as DHCP 
by my router, and things are working excellent without my intervention. Most 
ADSL providers are pushing DHCP ip-addresses and routing information for the 
client machines. 

You don't talk about how your network is configured, but if you have more than 
1 machine connected to an ADSL connection, you will need a router. If you are 
only using a hub, you may be in trouble, and that could easily cause it.
