You got and IP, a private IP, but that's OK.

Do you get IP addresses for name servers? type 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'
nameserver 192.168.100.1

Again, private, but ok.

Do you get a default route? type 'netstat -rn'
Kernel IP routing table
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0

Here's your default route: 192.168.100.1

Can you ping the route's IP address? type 'ping {ip address of default
route}'

PING 192.168.100.0 (192.168.100.0) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.100.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=59.9 ms

You were pinging the network instead of the gateway, but the gateway answered. So that's good.


Can you ping one of the name servers' IP addresses?
yes

The nameserver is also the default router. Hmmm. Do you have your router installed? That is, is your physical setup like this:


 {net}--{cable}--{cable modem}--{computer}

or like this:
 {net}--{cable}--{cable modem}--{router}--{computer}

or something else?

Can you ping yahoo.com?
yes

Really?!! Can you show the ouput from 'ping -c 4 yahoo.com' ?
