Does "route -n" show a gateway? It should show something like: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 If it shows something like Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 then you don't have a default gateway set up. Do "route add default gw 192.168.1.1" substituting the correct IP address for your gateway of course. Edit /etc/interfaces (as directed at "man interfaces") to have it work on boot.
