For your description of the problem it sounds like you do not have a defualt gateway specified in your linux system
Do a 'netstat -rn' and see if you have a line that look similar to this '0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0' If you do is it pointing to address on your cable/dsl router? If you don't, make sure that '/etc/conf.d/net' file has the 'gateway' parameter correctly defined and uncommented. I am assuming your are manually setting your IP address, since dhcp, hopefully, would have set default gateway properly.
