your local machine needs have functioning dns - i.e., be able to get responses to name lookups. to do that it needs point to nameservers. that's generally done/shown in your /etc/resolv.conf file. if your local machine has static ipnumbers you will likely have set the nameservers explicitly when you set that up. if it uses dhcp it should get them from your dhcp server.
in my previous mention of resolve.conf and clamav/CDN, that should have been /etc/hosts.
