Unfortunately I have no idea what this means.

He means "plug it in via wired ethernet and test it". Which you've already done.

ping www.yahoo.com -l 1500 -t

It sends ICMP echo request packets to www.yahoo.com that are 1500 bytes in size, and does so until you tell it to stop.

The fact that you're getting no response does tend to point to an MTU issue. (Well, assuming that a "normal" ping to www.yahoo.com works. Test that first.) Change it to 1499 and try again. Then 1498, and lower and lower until you start getting responses. Then try setting your MTU to that number plus 8. If that doesn't work, try just that number. (I'm not sure if the 1500 is specifying total packet size or just payload size.)
