Cannot connect to internet in Fedora 19

Cannot connect to internet in Fedora 19

I am brand new to linux and am unable to connect to the internet in Fedora
19. When I type ifconfig I get
lo: flags=73 mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1

Also when I type netstat I get
Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local
Address Foreign Address State
Active UNIX domain sockets (w/o servers)
I have tried to find what I can do to connect to the internet and I have
been unsuccessful. I am using a wired connection through a router. I can
ping 127.0.0.1 but cannot ping out.
