Do the contents of /etc/resolv.conf look correct, particularly are there one, 
or more, nameserver lines like this:

  nameserver 66.11.168.198
  nameserver 66.11.168.194

How does /etc/resolv.conf compare with /etc/ppp/resolv.conf ... is it being 
copied correctly?  Do you have firewall rules installed that could be 
blocking the queries?

If you can't figure it out show us the exact response from nslookup, or 
perhaps run the host command with the verbose option
(host -v www.google.ca 66.11.168.198).
