If you don't have a default gateway, then it's no wonder you can't ping
outside of your network.

From a shell prompt, issue 'route add default xxx.yyy.zzz.1', where
'xxx.yyy.zzz.1' is your default router.

As for why this isn't properly set up when you boot, I'm not quite sure.
Does dmesg give any useful clues?
