When you ping'ed, did you you a host name or an ip address??  Use an IP
address first (the one for a machine at your local ISP will suffice). 
If that works, then the link is good.  Then try the same machine as the
ip address, but use it's name.  If that fails, it's probably because
you have configured a name server in /etc/resolv.conf.
Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
