Calling all Linux wizards to sprinkle some magic and help!

The Problem:
================================================== ======================
I have LAN access but cannot access any remote (WAN) host (or
website).

Examples:
--------
What I CAN do:
a) Able to ping router on 192.168.2.1
b) Able to ping colleague's PC 192.168.2.2
c) Able to configure router using web interface on 192.168.2.1 fine.

What I CANNOT do:
http://www.google.co.uk (Error = "www.google.co.uk could not be found.
Please check the name and try again.")
================================================== ======================


Configuration:
--------------
Linux Suse 9.2

Belkin ADSL Modem with Built-in Wireless Router
Model: F5D7630-4A (ver 1212uk)

D-Link DWL-610 Wireless PCMCIA Card
Driver: DriverLoader

Network:
DHCP Enabled
Infrastructure
Channel 11
IP Forwarding ON
128 bit WEP (enabled) HEX
Gateway 192.168.2.1
ESSID belkin54g


Troubleshooting
----------------
Failed attempts:
X) I've disabled the firewall.
X) I've disabled WEP.
x) I've upgraded router's firmware.
x) Various command-line utilities (see below)


(Console Output):
