DNS?
Check /etc/resolv.conf  for nameservers
try  traceroute 174.142.8.58 and see if it hits the Internet

also check default route, route -n

the line you want contains "UG" ... example:
0.0.0.0         10.10.0.1       0.0.0.0  UG    1 0 0 eth0

How are you managing the netowrk, network manaber, wicd or did you hand 
edit /etc/network/interfaces ?

If its a desktop, you might as well use the latter method

EG, /etc/network/interfaces :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.10.0.1

auto eth0
