No problem here are the details

ifconfig

Code:

resolv.conf

Code:

What equipment are you using? I'm surprised to see eth0 have a public IP address, unless you're using an ethernet modem and no router?

Can you ping the DNS servers and the gateway that you've been given?
 
I can't ping any addresses. That is an internal address I have been assigned not public
 
No, that's a public address. Private addresses (see RFC1918) are 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16), 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) & 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8).

If someone is telling you that is an internal address, then they're either lying or have a shockingly bad idea of how to setup internal IP addressing.

No it doesn't. It say that that IP range belongs to Steria.
Sorry, my mistake - my mind was going off on a tangent, the company I work for deals with Steria and that's why I was thinking work-related thoughts :o
