if your ping returns 'destination unreachable' then you dont have connectivity (at least to that site).. did you try it to many reliable sites? ie yahoo.com/ca and google.com/ca ? if all of those fail, then your internet isnt working, no matter what any program says.
what is the IP address you are assigned? is it a LAN or WAN address? LAN addresses will start with something like 192.168.0.X or somethign similar. these LAN addresses dont mean your on the internet.
what NIC card do you have? is the driver/module for that card loaded? what is the output of 'ifconfig -a'? are you using a router or hub? or just connecting your computer to the aDSL modem?
