Can you ping your gateway?
What have you actually tried to determine you have no network connectivity? 
If you got a legitimate address from DHCP, it certainly looks like you're 
connected -- unless you've installed some firewall package such as Fwbuilder 
that can impose restrictions on outbound traffic depending how you set it up, 
yours is not likely to be a firewall problem - the fact that you got a 
legitimate address from DHCP sort of kills the firewall theory.
Run the following:
ping 206.190.60.37
What do you get?
