Classic DNS problem... The Raq is trying to log security info about your
host but a) isn't connected to the internet/network or b) has incorrect DNS
settings.

Once you log on try doing a
nslookup www.yahoo.com

I think the Raq3's have nslookup.  It should return your current DNS server
and then the answer to your request.

You can change the DNS stuff via the interface or just edit /etc/resolv.conf
