What is "dhcp-1111-490"? Is that the name of your linux machine?

Do your linux box get its IP via DHCP from your provider?

Do a reverse lookup on your linux boxes IP and see if it comes up as 
dhcp-1111-490.yourcarrier.tld or something like that. If so, try pinging 
  dhcp-1111-490 and also the reverse lookup address. You may have to add 
the yourcarrier.tld to your lookup file(can't remember the name right 
now) so that your dns lookups automatically attempt to search for 
dhcp-1111-490.yourcarrier.tld before they fail out as unknown.
