good, and you can ping an IP address such as 128.101.101.101? can you
ping a hostname such as google.com?

If you answered yes to the first and no the the second than you need to
add some DNS servers to your /etc/resolv.conf file.  Your ISP should
have some handy for  you to use, if not, I am sure the list can provide
some assistance with that as well.

Is your computer connet directly into the cable modem, or do you have a
firewall between you and the cable modem?
