You should verify the routing table is correctly configured.

% route

Should display a couple lines as shown below although your entries may be
different.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

If the line with 10.0.0.1 (or whatever address your local router has been
configured) is missing, type the following at a command prompt (as root).

route add -net default gw 10.0.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 0

Then ping a hodt such as www.flash.net to determine whether the DNS and
routing are properly configured.
