hi tom arneson,
Usually, this is because your system does not have proper access to a nameserver.
... Usually your system will get the nameserver info at the same time as the ip address from the dhcpd server. You could try
sudo route
... to see if there is a route to your router 192.168.1.1 (typically) and you could try looking at
cat /etc/resolv.conf
... to see if you have a nameserver configured (sometimes its also your router... which forwards on to a main server)
Without name services (bind) you will not get ip to name resolution and no pages will come up on your browser unless you give the ip address directly.
