Try to ping an IP address.

If it resolves the address to xx.xx.xx.xx, a numerical string, then you are actually OK on the internet. If not, then you are not really connected.

If you are connected, and recieving a reply from say 24.64.2.33 butnot from www.techrepublic.com then you need to set up your DNS entries.

If you aren't connected at all, then check your routing first. Make sure you have a valid default gateway.

Kev.
