Did you add your nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf ?
try pinging some of the internet domains with their ip's, e.g. ping 64.179.4.146 //pinging linuxquestions.org

What do you see when you ping by domain names ? Are you seeing domain names getting converted into ip's ? Can you please post the complete output of ping command ? You can use dig or nslookup for nameresolutions too.

As probably your gateway or proxy server would have had blocked ping queries go out into internet, so its not pure surity of a failure. You can use lynx or elinkx to check for browsing at CLI.

yep when I ping a name like www.goole.com...it only convert into the IP add., but the ping hangs, i will put the whole output when i get back...(going to travel some days)...as for internet, i can se the local sites within the ip range, but not any webpages for the WWW, looks like it can's lookup the rigt name, caus it finds the ip for all the webpages
