Hmm. Looks like you're nearly there.

Try
ping 202.148.11.34
to see if you can ping your DNS servers.

If not try
route
to take a look at your routing table, and
ping 202.148.8.129
to check that you can ping the other end of the link.

If you *can* ping your DNS servers, check the contents of
/etc/resolv.conf and add these lines:
nameserver 202.148.11.34
nameserver 202.148.11.40

Then try google again.

If that doesn't get it working, can you please respond (to the list!)
and let us know how you're doing?

Thanks,

James.
