Well, I can ping your router, so that is a start!
->ping -c3 64.242.160.1

Let's check the obvious.  What do you get when you ping yourself?  Are
you getting both a connect light and data light on the nic?  Where are
you plugging the wire coming out of your nic?  Do you have another piece
of cat5? Where did you get the IP? Did you make it up or was it given to
you? 

Did you set up the nic and network with sysinstall?

Anybody else wanna chime in?
