1. see if your getting an address 
   type /sbin/ifconfig - this will tell you what   
devices and addresses are seen.

2. if you're getting a valid address check to see if
you can ping by ip address, then by name( ei
yahoo.com)

3. if you hav an ip and can't ping it may be your
firewall. try shutting it down w/ this command as root
#/sbin/service iptables stop

try to ping again. hope this helps. if not give us any
of the info from the above instructions and we'll
take it from there. this sound like a minor issue 
( firewall). but it could be DNS issues.
