Check your ethernet configuration file and make sure that your gateway
to the router is set. Some routers for one reason or another do not
supply the information correctly as far as Linux is concerned. The fix
is to manually supply the GATEWAY information. The DNS information
should be automagically created for you.
Sample /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file;
# Realtek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ <--the hardware device
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 <-- your routers internal TCP/IP address here
Sample /etc/resolv.conf file;
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 63.251.38.131
nameserver 63.251.38.133
