Getting IP from DHCP but can't ping anything



After using static IP for a few years I've changed the provider and have to use
DHCP. The steps I've done:

1. Edited /etc/network/interfaces file and changed eth1 to dhcp
2. Installed dhcp3-client (also tried dhcp-client)

The networking starts up, gets an IP address from DHCP server, gets the mask and
the gateway. 

So far so good, but... I cannot ping anything beyond my network. Can ping
neither gateway nor dns servers. Is there any way to troubleshoot it? The
default gateway shows up in 'route' output but it takes a few seconds between
the my local networks are showing up and the default gateway is showing up. I
think that's because the I can't see the gateway. What am I missing, please.
