With the information you give it's not really easy to help you.
Please follow one of the network troubleshooting howtos on the net. For example:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch04_:_Simple_Network_Troubleshooting
If you can provide more detailed information about what's working and what's not
it will be much easier to help you.
