Can you use numeric IP addresses at all?  Try 204.71.177.71 (that's
one of the numbers for www.yahoo.com's).  The site should both ping
and appear in Netscape, even without DNS.  If you find you can't use
numeric IP addresses, you have no real internet connection.  If you
can use numbers but can't use names, then you just need to set up DNS
properly.
