Aha!! I should have thought of that! Yes, you've probably got Planar Mapping
Type selected, which doesn't continue the texture map over non-parallel
neighboring polygons. Organic, Spherical or Cylindrical mapping will probably
work for you, depending on the shape of your geometry. The proper times to use
Spherical or Cylindrical are self-explanatory; Organic works well with
irregular shapes.
Hope this helps.
