Looks pretty good.

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
