Yes, DNS resolution seems to be a problem that several people have experienced, if you find a cause it would be useful to know. Adding hosts manually is a temporary workaround, but certainly not a permanent fix! As to a cause, maybe there's a problem with UDP on your network?
I run a headless Pi with Raspbian for my network services, using dnsmasq for DHCP/DNS and have no problems so if it's an incompatibility with your ISP router (which I'm assuming is also handling DHCP) then that might be one possible solution. Manually setting your DNS to avoid your router might also help (try 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4 for Google DNS).
