Pinging the internet == accessing the internet.

If you can reach an external site via ICMP (ping), your card is working
fine.  Your DNS (UDP) is also working, but connections via wget or your
web browser fail, both of which use TCP.  Are you running a firewall on
your machine?  If so, disable it temporarily and try again.  If it
works, then look at your firewall ruleset.
