wireless nearly working, but can't ping

I've been trying to get wireless to work on my laptop using wpa_supplicant. I seem I be connected to the network, but I'm unable to ping google. Here's some info:

Re: wireless nearly working, but can't ping

Hi, the wireless link seems to be done successfully because you can obtain an IP on the network.

What error message does the ping google.com command give ?
Also can you ping 129.105.49.10, the dhcp server which gives you an ip ?
After the dhcp setup, what default gateway shows the route command ?
