Seems like you forgot to create a default route. If you do a plain
'ifconfig' you wil see that ur NIC is up with the assigned IP. If you try
to 'ping' another host in your network, it won't work. Also: a browser is
not a good method to test your network, since you cannot see much
diagnostic kind of stuff. Use CLI-tools like ping instead.

What you need to do is to add a default route:

route add default gw 192.168.10.1    (insert the IP of the gateway here).

You can check if your route is ok with 'route -n'.

Also, the NET-HOWTO might be worth a read ;) (/usr/share/doc/HOWTO)

Good luck!
