Installed ATI's Catalyst drivers, now my computer can't resolve DNS ad

Today I installed ATI's Catalyst drivers. As I struggled with kernel modules, I noticed that my computer couldn't resolve DNS addresses: for example, I can succesfuly ping 69.22.138.129, but when I try to ping reddit.com it just tells me it's an unknown host.

I can wirelessly connect to the internet from any other computer in my house. Since it happened at exactly the same time I was trying to install ATI's Catalyst drivers, I suspect it was because of me fiddling with the kernel.

Does anyone have any solution?

Hey, it is ThatF-ingGuy.  Cross posting this...

That sets off a red flag. Why aren't you either using a pkgbuild from the AUR or prebuild packages from [catalyst]? There is nothing to struggle with.
