Welcome to LQ.

Is your routing table correct? Can you post the output from
ifconfig
route -n

Your network setup seems ok. Have you only been trying domain names for testing the internet connection? Check that your dns servers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf in the format:
nameserver ip.of.primary.dns
nameserver ip.of.secondary.dns

It looks like you'll need to specify your ISPs DNS servers or your router probably has built in DNS functions. Try setting it to use your router with:
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf

The whole machne froze?

That sounds very odd, which browser were you using?

Can you try with wget:
wget http://207.44.183.182/questions/imag...xQuestions.gif

Does that download the LQ logo ok?

This seems really odd, it definately shouldn't be hanging the machine.

I can only imagine that there is a problem with the driver for your network card. You may want to make sure you are using an up to date kernel.

I doubt if it will be a distro problem but I would seriously consider trying an updated kernel.
