Problem with networking?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm quite new to FreeBSD.
I have a virtual server runing FreeBSD that I mainly administer via WebMin.
I've been trying to set up a personal email service using imap-uw, squirrelmail
and sendmail. During testing I have been telnetting into the sendmail port. Up
until about 2 days ago the "Mail From:" command was being accepted, now it
returns "Domain of sender address xx at yyy.com does not exist".
Also if I ssh to the box, I can run an ftp session, but can only "open" using IP
addresses, not domain names. If I ping a domain I get " cannot resolve xyz.com:
No address associated with name". If I ping an IP address I get "socket:
Operation not permitted".
I was investigating /stand/sysinstall a couple of days ago and I think I have
somehow messed up some network settings. I have tried rebooting through WebMin,
but to no avail.
Can someone point me in the riht direction, please?
TIA
Graeme
