This confirms a routing problem.  You have no default
route (what the kernel is supposed to do with packets
that don't belong on any of the networks listed).

A short-term fix would be to issue the command
route add default gw 204.210.122.1
but that doesn't solve the underlying problem:
Why doesn't dhcp do this for you when it gets
an address?

What distro are you using?
