And once have the above excellent advice working you need to make sure
you have your default gateway configured correctly and valid DNS entries
in /etc/resolv.conf.

To check your gateway run:

netstat -rn

There should be a line with UG in it that is the default gateway.  This
should point to your LANs gateway, depending on setup this could be the
cable modem or a router that sits in front of the cable modem.

In /etc/resolv.conf there should be at least one hopefully 2 or 3
nameserver entries followed by IP addresses of your ISPs DNS servers.

Start by getting basic LAN connectivity and then check for default
gateway and DNS configuration.
