Cant get Online W/DSL Eventhough have IP

Comment:

Hello all, I have been trying to get online with linux for the longest time And i finally feel that i'm making progress since i have an ip address and eth0 inializes at boot. however, for some reason, i cant surf online, i cant ping anybody. i dont understand, since i have an ip. could it be some sort of firewalling? i am using red hat 7 and it is pretty much at default from when i installed it except for trying to get online. one thing though, when i run ifconfig -a, it doesnt show eth0 as being up like lo. it doesnt show up or down for eth0. dont know if that makes a difference. it also doesnt show the kernel module used. dont know if it should. anyone who offers help, thank you very much for your help. it is greatly appreciated I WANT TO GET ONLINE DAMNIT!
