First determine if you have real internet connectivity. Use a terminal
window to see if you can ping an outside address. If you can, that means
you are connected to the internet and probably need to check your browser
configuration.

If you can't ping a web address, determine if it is a connectivity problem
or a dns problem. For example, if you can't ping www.google.com but you
can ping 64.233.167.147, then your dns isn't setup correctly.

If you can't ping either, but can see your network, I'd wonder if your
gateway settings are correct.

You might also check your router settings to see if it is restricting
anything by MAC address or such.

You haven't given much specific information to work with, so these are
just guesses.
