New Install Mandrake 10.1 "Does not find Host"

Hi I just installed Mandrake 10.1 on one of my box. I am connected on
the internet, I have an IP address thorugh DHCP and it finds the DNS
primary and secondary but I am unable to get to the internet. The
browser can not find www.Google.com or anything else.
I can ping only that computer otherwise it gives me a "Host unreachable
error" or "operation not permitted".
I change the install from security high to low and nothing seems to
work.
Anybody can help?

Just the browser? Or any network capable application?

Just outgoing connections to port 80? Or all Internet operations?

Can you access Internet hosts by ip address?

Do you have a LAN? Can you access other machines on it? By hostname? Or just
IP address? Does your DNS server know the hostnames for those machines? Do
you hard code them in /etc/hosts?

What is the output of ifconfig?

What is the output of "dig www.google.com"?

What is the content of /etc/resolv.conf?

How are you connected to the Internet? Serial modem? USB ADSL box? Router?

Is it your computer that gets the IP address and finds the DNS servers? Or
is it your router?

Do you need to access the web through a proxy?

The computer is on my company's LAN behind a Netgear router and I can't
see/ping the 2 other windows boxes that are on the same subnet.
I can ping myself (localhost and actual IP address). I can view the
default Apache page from my own browser but I can't see anybody on the
network.
The response to dig command gives a "no servers could be reached" error

Nope no proxy needed. I have a REd Hat 9 box with almost the same setup
on the same network and it works just fine. I built this new server to
replace the existing old RH server...

What about all the other questions I asked?
