You probably need a DNS server to resolve the URL.
Is there one on your network somewhere? If so, put
the address of the DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf

Were you pinging by name or by number? If by name,
you'll need a DNS server.

If you are trying to reach sites outside of your
immediate network (via a gateway), you need to set
the address for the gateway:

route add default gw xxx.xx.x.xx
