[mdlug] New Debian Install

Here is a stumper.  I just completed a brand new installation of
Debian, during installation it could not reach the repositories so
only a base installation was completed.

I am logged directly into the machine not via ssh.  Network appears to
have configured correctly via dhcp.

ifconfig says I have the correct network address
route -n shows the correct gateway
resolv.conf shows the correct DNS servers

from another machine on the network I can ping the gateway and www.google.com
from the new install attempting to ping the gateway destination host
unreachable and for Google it says unknown host

I can ssh into the machine via its IP address and I can ssh into other
machines on the network via their IP address

I am stumped any help would be appreciated.
