Can you ping them?
can you try this and share the results:
ping Home.netscape.com
Can you also try this and share the results:
ping google.com
And can you try this and share the results:
ping 64.233.167.99
This will tell us if you have access to a DNS server and/or can go outside your internal network.
regards,
Johan Louwers.

This means that some or all hosts will be unreachable.
Perhaps there is a problem with your name server?
If your site must use a non-root name server, you will
need to set the $ SOCKS_NS environment variable to
point at appropriate name server. It may or(may not)
be necessary to set the variable, or the
SOCKS host preference, to the ip address of the host
in question rather than its name

network-test
network-test(1) ifupdown-extra network-test(1)
NAME
network-test - check the network and test if everything is fine
SYNOPSIS
network-test
DESCRIPTION
The network-test program will test your system's network configuration using basic tests and providing both information (INFO), warnings
(WARN) and possible errors (ERR) based on the results of these tests. It will check and report on:
* Status of the network interfaces of the system including: link status,
IP addressing and number of transmitted packets and error rates.
* Accessibility to configured routes to external networks,
including the default network route, checking the routers configured
to give access to the network
* Proper host resolution, testing DNS resolution against a known host.
* Proper network connectivity, testing reachability of remote hosts using ICMP and simulating a web connections to a remote web
server (the web server used for the tests can be configured through the environment, see below)
The program does not need special privileges to run as it does not do any system change.
However, the behaviour of the program when running as an unprivileged user is not the same as running as system administrator (i.e. root).
If the program is run as system administrator it will try to run some tools that are only available to it to speed up some of the tests.
The program relies on the use of ip, netstat, ifconfig, arp and (when running as root) ethtool or mii-tool, to obtain information about the
system's networking configuration (status of available interfaces and configured network routes). It also uses ping, host and nc (netcat)
to do tests of the network connectivity and ensure that the host can connect to the Internet.
ENVIRONMENT
The program will, by default, check www.debian.org and its associated web server. If you want to use a different check host you can setup
the environment as follows:
CHECK_HOST
The name of a host to use when testing DNS resolution.
CHECK_IP_ADRESS
The IP address of the host defined in CHECK_HOST
CHECK_WEB_HOST
The web server to use for testing purposes when testing network connectivity.
CHECK_WEB_PORT
The web server port of server CHECK_WEB_HOST that will be used for testing.
EXIT STATUS
The program will exit with error (1) if any of the network checks fail.
BUGS
This program does not have super cow powers so it is unable to fix the errors by itself. It is also unable to detect if the network is
failing due to a local firewall policy been in place so make sure you check your system logs with dmesg (1) to detect if some of the active
tests are being dropped due to your local firewall.
Other known issues that might make the program not work reliable are:
* IPv6: The program does not yet explicitly handle IPv6 only hosts, some of the tests might be biased towards IPv4 and might fail in
IPv6 environments.
* Proxies: The program does not check network connectivity for hosts that connect through the Internet using a proxy gateway for
services. The program might report issues in hosts using proxies even when these might connect to the Internet properly through
proxied services.
* Firewall environments: some of the tests rely on direct connectivity to external hosts, which are tested using ICMP queries
(through the use of ping. These tests might fail in hosts installed in networking environments with firewalls that block outbound
ICMP communication.
