Just to cover all bases: You ran "ifconfig eth0 up" to bring up the Ethernet interface, and that got its ip address via dhcp, correct?
This gets you the ip address, which enables you to reach other machines on the same subnet, but it does *NOT* set the default route for you. Did you set the default route by running "route add --net default gw ROUTER-ADDRESS"?
