Assuming you have a router and that Ubuntu works fine through the router:
from a gnome terminal try:
netstat -nr.
Make sure the default route (0.0.0.0) is pointing at the correct
interface (eg eth0).
Check your name servers (cat /etc/resolv.conf).
Since you can ping, you should be ok, but sometimes these steps will
show you what the problem is.
Make sure your browser is not trying to connect through a proxy server.

Minor misconfigurations can cause some interesting problems (such as my
Thunderbird issues and I should have known better).

Again, use telnet (as said previously) to make sure your firewall is not
blocking outbound ports 80 or 25.

[gaf@rosetta ~]$ telnet www.google.com 80
Trying 72.14.204.99...
Connected to www.google.com (72.14.204.99).
