For some reason it isn't connecting to your DHCP server. Some distro's include an ifup script that calls DHCP. You might give that a try and see if it works better (ifup rasub0). Another alternative would be to set a static IP address with ifconfig:

ifconfig rausb0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

You would then need to do two additional things. First, you need to use route to set the gateway to your router's IP address:

route add default gw yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (where the yyy are replaced by your router's IP)

Second, you need to edit /etc/resolv.conf to include your ISP's DNS servers. For each DNS server you add a line:

nameserver zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz (replacing the z with the DNS IP addresss).
