I'll work on the assumption that you have Open Transport active...

1. Download a copy of a ping utility and use this to test numeric IP addresses. A 
favourite utility of mine for older Macs is Network Toolbox available from 
http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/network.html. Use the ping tool to test a 
numeric address on your own network, a numeric address at your ISP (eg their DNS 
servers) and a numeric address elsewhere on the internet. Let us know the results if 
this fails and provide a copy of *everything* that you are entering in the TCP/IP 
control panel.

2. If you can ping numeric addresses OK, try manually setting the DNS server addresses 
of your ISP in the TCP/IP control panel and restart your Mac. Older versions of Open 
Transport don't do DHCP very well.
