It sounds like you haven't set the DNS server in
My Computer -> Control Panel -> Network -> (TCP/IP Properties) -> DNS
(unless you're using DHCP, in which case it might be set by your DHCP
server; if you're doing DHCP locally, perhaps via a router, you might
need to set it there)
Normally your ISP will tell you the identity of their DNS server(s).
