Assuming I can ping gateway etc, I would first check if DNS is working as it 
should. If it does [nslookup/telnet/ping/ncftp all report IP addresses.]. I 
would then try to ping www.google.com, and see what happens. If nothing comes 
back, I would like to see what does /usr/sbin/traceroute has to say about it. 
It should report your router there atleast. If it starts showing all those 
stars before reaching google, it means there is a firewall, while if doesnt 
list even your router, there is someproblem with your LAN settings. If so, 
try to find the proxy [nmap your lan B-) ], and set your browsers accodingly.

Squid is if you want to play ISP, and give proxy access to Net via your 
computer to others, which I guess is not what you are trying to do right now.
