Re: Web browsing?
I am afraid I cannot help you with your latest discovery, but to check your interfaces ifconfig is perfect. It will show you the interface name (eth0 or eth1 for example) and your ip address if you have one (second line, first entry - inet addr among other stuff.
To find out whether you can communicate with your router you should try to ping it (ping 192.168.1.1). If you cannot even do that, there is some wall between you. If you can then you have a connection at least as far as the router and perhaps even check its settings. But cross either bridge when you come to it
