type ping and my IP address
Packets sent 4...received 4
That means it's working. But only that you are seeing as far as the NIC on your PC. Ping the router (gateway) address, (get it by running IPCONFIG) then ping an external address e.g. 4.2.2.1, then an external name - e.g. www.pprune.org.

You won't get a response from pprune, but you should see the IP address resolution. If so, then DNS is working and everything is AOK.

You can also check that the physical link light on the NIC is on and the activity light flashes - and also check the corresponding router / switch port light is on.
