Check the gateway's IP in Windows and try to ping it in Linux. Do (in the terminal) "ifconfig -a" to check if you were assigned an IP address. Does the network works in Windows on the very same computers? if not (or not tested - though from what I understood it does work on them) then maybe it is a 10/100Mbps problem. It is pretty rare (because only 10/only 100 hubs/cards are rare these days) but it personally happened to me.
