Unable to get DNS after dailup connection

Problem Description: I would try and open Firefox while connected to the network, it'd take maybe 3 minutes to actually open, and then it would never load a page. When I tried viewing a webpage on IE, it gave me an error that the DNS Server could not be reached. I ran the diagnostics tool, and it returned an error: "Cannot communicate with primary DNS server. Network Diagnostics pinged the server, but did not receive a response."

Briefly: Modem connected with Internet, first few minutes browsing done properly, after that unable to browse, if pinged no DNS server found.
