No Gracenote track info on insert of audio CD

On one of my Macs (a pre-Intel Mini running OS X) whenever I insert a CD for ripping to my library, the default import query dialog shows up with no Gracenote track info. I have to cancel the import, manually query Gracenote, and then drag n drop to get the import rolling. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance all the same. iTunes is set to query Gracenote on Audio CD insertion. Any clues?

PB G4 15 1.5ghz, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Check your iTunes -> Preferences -> General and be sure "Automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet" is checked.

Internet connection dropping?

From the iTunes help file: "If you don’t have a continuous Internet connection, you can still import songs to your library (they are called “Track 01,” “Track 02,” and so on). Later, when you connect to the Internet, iTunes can retrieve the information for all your CDs at once."
