Looks like there's no name server, although the router should have passed
that info with the other DHCP data.

Look whether there's an option to set a name server (I haven't done an
install for a long time so I can't remember).  If there is you could use
8.8.8.8, which is a Google name server which works quite well (and it's
easy to remember).
