[LUNI] Network help please

[Javier Salazar]

Sorry, I fat fingered it.  The ip address of linux box is 192.168.1.xxx.
I am able to ping my linksys router, my windows box.  As a mater of
fact,
if I know the ip address of a web site, I can ping it.  However, I can
not use the web browser to hit any web sites.  The router has the DNS 
addresses given to me by my ISP.  If I get this right, I would think
that
I would just need to have my linksys router ip address as my only
gateway
on my linux box so that I can access the router.  The router would then
take care of resolving the web ip addresses for me. Right?

Once again, the linksys router is acting as a dhcp server.  When the
linux
box boots up, it should assign an ip address to the linux box
automatically.
When I installed linux, I selected to have it receive the ip address via
dhcp.
Furthermore, I selected the medium security for the firewall and to have
the network active at bootup.

Help ! ! !
