Check/edit the file; /etc/sysconfig/network

Sample output;

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=The name of your system
GATEWAY=Internal IP address of the wireless router

Check/edit the file; /etc/resolv.conf

Sample output
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver first(primary) DNS IP address from your provider

nameserver second(secondary) DNS IP address from your provider
