If you are not running a name server you could hang.

Are you running the caching name server which is one of the daemons
supplied with RedHat ?

The reason running either a full named or the caching server, I don't remember
its name at the moment, is a good idea is that they reduce the load
on your upstream provider and resolve your own names-->IP address lookups
faster. (You can visibly load web pages faster on a 56K dialup)
