Thomas was right - you need a default gateway
edit /etc/sysconfig/network
make sure that you have the following lines in there...
GATEWAYDEV = eth0
GATEWAY = 68.98.10.65 (if that is your gateway address)
I'm assuming that the cox ip address should be something like 68.98.10.x
where x is between 65 & 79
also you need to make sure that you have Cox's name server addresses in
/etc/resolv.conf
i.e.
nameserver 68.2.16.30
nameserver 68.5.16.30
nameserver 68.1.208.30
and lastly,
this should all be automatic if you were configured to use DHCP on eth0
