configure internet through a router

["Alexander Rozhkov" <arozhkov@gmail.com>]

I connect to Internet through VPN. I decided to put a router (D-Link
DI-604) to split the connection between several computers. I've
managed to make my Mac iBook to work OK with the new setup. Yet my
laptop with Debian refuses to connect to Internet.
The phenomenology is as follows:


1. I can connect to the router itself at  http://192.168.0.1/, I can
establish/break connection between the router and my internet
provider.

2. Whenever I try to connect to the outside it fails. The brouser
(Firefox) says: "... could not be found. Please check the name and try
again."

3. The output of different commands are:
# ifconfig
