Your system is not configured to access the Internet (or network).

That's exactly what it sounds like to me. raj_techie, open a shell and type "ping foo.com" without the quotes and see what happens.
Also make sure the network service is running "/sbin/service network start". You could also try "/sbin/ifconfig -a" and make sure you have an IP for your computer.
