The net unreachable error sounds routing-ish. You don't need to mess with
the routing my hand but if you do want to, man route is a god start. But I
would fire up linuxconf (in X) or netconf (CLI) and re-enter the basic host
information and the default route... I've always had a gateway to the
internet... maybe you want to pretend that one of your computers is the
gateway.
Also, can you ping by IP? Probably not but if so, it could be a DNS
thing--which is also configured in linuxconf/netconf.
