Dig and nslookup resolve; ping doesn't

I've got a box running Fedora Core release 3.  I'm able to resolve 
names such as www.yahoo.com using nslookup or dig but not using ping. 
"ping www.yahoo.com" returns "ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com".

/etc/host.conf
	order hosts,bind
/etc/nsswitch.conf
	hosts: files dns

I'm logged in as root.  What am I missing here?

Mark
