Do you have an external gateway with it's own IP to the internet such as a router? If so, make sure your default gateway in your external eth interface has been set up accordingly, i.e. check your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file for the GATEWAY entry (if eth0 is your external network interface). If you are using GUI, use the neat command to set it. If you have a modem or similar connection, check the ifcfg-ppp0 file in the same directory to make sure the DEFROUTE entry is set to yes.
