On slackware DNS is not working i can not ping anywhere
but i can ping IP.
 
I use Solaris but it should be similar to Slackware. Check your /etc/resolv.conf it should something like this:

search domainname.com
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Also check your /etc/nsswitch.conf look for the hosts: line. It should resemble this:

hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return]

If dns is after files then add it.
