Assuming you want your router IP to be 192.168.1.1 , your server IP 192.168.1.2 :

If you can ping the router from the server it s most likely a dns problem..
So you check your configuration of xubuntu..

type:
sudo nano /etc/resolve.conf

add the below line to this file:
nameserver 192.168.1.1

press ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit

if it doesn't work change the nameserver 192.168.1.1 to nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  (xxx for any dns server IP address you know..
