Does your router provide your pc's with an ip address via dhcp? If so
does it also provide the dns servers for your connection?

Open a terminal and ping www.bbc.co.uk what happens?

Can you ping 212.58.224.121?

If the ip address works you will need to add the dns servers provided
by your ips to /etc/resolve.conf.
