    Hi,

    you are most probably missing one or more of the following:

    - Nameserver (set it up in /etc/resolv.conf, see man resolv.conf)
    - Default Gateway (set it up using route add default <gateway-ip>, see
    man route)
    - Proxy (your friend may should have told you so then)

    HTH,
    Andreas
