PING 166.111.8.28 (166.111.8.28): 56 data bytes
ping: send to: No route to host
it means I cannot connect to the internet even when I have got the
wireless card an IP address using DHCP. WHY?

can anybody help on this? any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Take a close look at the ip/broadcast of your nic and the ip of the host you're trying to ping.

Your NIC: 166.111.208.137/23
Your DNS: 166.111.8.28

They are not on the same network as far as I can see.

Now, check that you have the default route set,

# route -n get default

Cheers, Erik
