Does "route -n" show a gateway?  It should show something like:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway      Genmask      Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0  0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0   U     0    0      0  eth1
0.0.0.0      192.168.1.1  0.0.0.0         UG    0    0      0  eth1

If it shows something like

Destination  Gateway      Genmask      Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *         255.255.255.0   U     0    0      0  eth1

then you don't have a default gateway set up.  Do "route add default gw
192.168.1.1" substituting the correct IP address for your gateway of
course.  Edit /etc/interfaces (as directed at "man interfaces") to have it
work on boot.
