usb wifi adapter being detected, but no connection

I'm having trouble connecting to wifi. I have a fresh install of Raspbian, all packages are up to date.

The wifi adapter (Belkin N300 Micro Wireless USB Adapter - model F7D2102) is being detected, so there's no issue there; here's the output of lsusb:

And here's the output of iwconfig:

eth0      no wireless extensions

This is what I have in /etc/network/interfaces:

This is my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo

iface lo inet lookback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
address 192.168.2.34
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

And this is what I have in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid="<my-network-name>"
psk="<my-network-password>"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
auth_alg=OPEN
}

But no luck when I try to ping google.com:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

Any ideas? Let me know if I can include any additional information here.
