This tells you that your network is up, running and talking to the interweb. Can you ping www.google.co.nz? If not, then you need a dns server somewhere, and an entry in /etc/resolv.conf to define it.
Given that your apple is working fine, I expect that your router is offering a dns service. Given your previous postings, I'd expect to see a line nameserver 192.168.1.1 in there. If you can ping www.google.co.nz, then your networking is working fine.
