Open up a console and try to ping a known IP address like googles(eg: "ping 74.125.19.103"). If you can ping that IP address you know that your routing is ok. If the routing is ok, try ping a domain name (eg: www.google.com). My guess is that this will fail. If this fails, this means that your domain name server (DNS) entry on the /etc/resolv.conf is incorrect. Root cause is usually a problem with "dhclient" retrieving the DNS info from your router. Follow the procedure in <https:// help.ubuntu.com/community/StaticDnsWithDhcp>. That will put a static DNS entry in, in addition to any automatic entries. You can get your DNS entries from your router.
