All that maybe true, but from the output you gave, it was impossible for
your board to communicate with the DNS server. The boards routing table
didn't have a default route. Run the route -n now it's working and you
will see an extra line in the routing table, something like...
0.0.0.0 128.172.167.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
