Probably irrelevant.
This is almost certainly a routing problem, assuming that your router even
responds to ping.
Thing to try:
- ping the router a few times: ping -c3 -w5 router_IP
- see if the router responded: arp -a
- netstat -r
One more thing, if your network admin is properly paranoid, your unknown MAC
address got a special IP from DHCP, and it will be in a range treated
differently than "known" IP's given to known machines. I certainly have it set
up like that, you may as well.
