Is it maybe a name resolution issue? Can you ping hosts in the outside 
world by name rather than IP address? Can you use dig to look up IP 
addresses? From what you say about your NIC being configured by DHCP 
this SHOULD be working but you didn't say anything to show that it is.

Please accept my apologies if this provokes a response along the lines 
of "What kind of an idiot do you think I am?" :-)
