How is your routing table? route -n
There should be a default gateway, where it points to depends on your
ISP.
For DNS to work, first check if you can ping anything on the outside
network, like:
ping 66.102.9.10
If that works, your connection is fine. Try a 'host www.google.nl' or
something to check if DNS works.
If both of this works you really should have a connection. If the ping
fails, your connection/routing is wrong. If the hostname resolution fails,
there is something wrong with your DNS.
