if you can ping other computers on "your" network using the wireless, then
your wireless must be configured alright. if this is so, i would look on my
router, to see if it has the dhcp servers listed from my isp. i know, i use
a cable modem with a linksys router, and my isp's nameservers are actually
stored in my router. this is how the dhcp client obtains the dns entries for
my /etc/resolv.conf file. i would then make sure that the isp's listed in
my /etc/resolve.conf match the ones stored in my router.
if all of this checks out fine, then perhpas there could be an issue with your
router not allowing your traffice to pass to the internet? could there be a
security setting within your router thats blocking your ip traffic?
