1.  Is the firewall active and blocking you?  FC4 tries to enable it by
default.  You can try disabling it to test.

2.  Did you get a default gateway set and is your nameserver configured?
The nameserver won't affect pings to an IP address but it affects use of
names.  The gateway not properly set will screw it all up.
"netstat -r", and the contents of /etc/resolv.conf will tell for both of
those.
