You need to put the name and address of your nameserver into
/etc/resolv.conf (which is usually your ISP).
For example (at a guess for your situation):
# /etc/resolv.conf
#
domain ims.advantis.com
#
# Primary name server
# ims.advantis.com
nameserver 165.87.194.144
See the net HOWTO for more details.
