Now try to ping a website on the net, I like yahoo.com.

"ping yahoo.com"

It should start replying immediately (or within a couple seconds).

If it comes back with "host cannot be found" then

vi /etc/resolv.conf

and replace what is there (in my case, the gateway ip address) with DNS server addresses, one to a line... I like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (easy to remenber, belonging to google)

Ping again and it should reply.
