I guess your ISP is using a chroot environment, without knowing the system I
can't really say why DNS lookups aren't working, it could be because they
have restricted sockets (in which case you'll not get IRC connections working
either) or there just might be some files missing (/etc/resolv.conf, maybe 
/etc/nsswitch.conf). You could always try just using an IP address to connect
to so a DNS lookup isn't needed.
