Can you resolve other hosts?
Try pinging www.google.com
If that doesn't work, then your DNS servers/settings are messed up. |

| I can't ping google.com so it must be the DNS. Do you have any resources for properly configuring DNS that you could link to? |

| This is a clean install. I can SSH in but nothing out... Shouldn't I be able to ping google.com with a clean install? |

| Well it finally "just started working"... I opened a support ticket and they were looking at it for about 30 minutes and I decided to try another ping and it worked. They have no idea why it didn't work and why it started working but it's been fine ever since, so I guess that good enough for me :) |
