That probably means one of the following:

Try this and see if name service begins working.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop
If that fixes things, then you need to visit your iptables config and allow DNS queries in/out.
Hope that helps.
Hi Chris:
Unfortunately, I have already stopped the firewall and DNS is running on 192.168.1.4. I took 192.168.1.4 out of the equation and used all the DNS servers that I have access to.... same result.
[root@ftp ~]# iptables -L -v -n Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination [root@ftp ~]#
This is quite strange .... I can assure you that centos-4.4 can connect and do name lookups.
Do you not have bind client software installed on this machine?
Is there some kind of proxy server where port 53 udp traffic might somehow be blocked?
