Network errors

Greetings all.  I decided to get a little work done on my toy linux box today, and the subject of my curiosity happened to be network connectivity.  Specificly, I wanted to make slackware see and use my cable modem.
In netconfig, I entered my host and domain as requested, using my dynamic host address for the domain.  Then I chose the second option, which said it was recomended for cable and DSL users that had a dynamic IP.  Then it asked for a DHCP host if any.  I called cogeco and they said they didn't use it.  Then, of course, I let it autodetect my card, and just like that I was in.
Then I hooked up the cable modem to the computer, and rebooted.
When I try to get any address using the links command, it says host not found.  So, I rebooted, and had a listen to the litiny of startup messages that here-to-fore, I ignored.   I copied some of this business down, and wondered if it's relavent?  How do I fix the errors below? are they responsible for my not being able to connect to the net?
