Hello, please precise which linux distribution you are using??
You can try doing this:

[root@nix]# pico /etc/conf.modules
Depends of your LAN card you could add the following lines to /etc/conf.modules :
alias eth0 xx
options eth0 io=0x2a0 irq=11

and then exit pico, saving /etc/conf.modules.

Dumb question, but sometimes the simple things are forgotten. i use FC10 so i know a bit about your system but not totally familiar with it. On the network icon at the top in gnome panel networking is enabled? and you have checked (most commonly is) system eth0?
next question is your compputer set to a static IP or assigned by DHCP, make sure it lines up with your modem/router, your not setting a static to the same address as one already occupied?
Also check your OS firewall settings.
ping 127.0.0.1 see what returns. then ping 192.168.1.1 see what returns, also where is your DNS set to under network connections??
More info can make answering the question easier
