Point to the gateway server.
e.g.
# more /etc/resolv.conf
search houston.rr.com rr.com
nameserver 192.168.0.1
If you have roadrunner then you most likely don't have a static IP address.
try loading dhcp-client and looking a little further down the interfaces file.
# An ethernet DHCP client:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
dhcp will set your IP address, gateway address, DNS address (rewrites
/etc/resolv.conf), mask, etc.
