Pain in the butt Gateway

[Sean]

Is your netmask 255.255.255.0?
What does /sbin/route say? 

If your /etc/sysconfig/network is correct and your 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is correct, if so, than use
ifconfig to bring the device down and restart it. If that doesnt work
you can use route to adjust your routing tables.  I would consider
trying to restart it before editing the routing tables with route,
sometimes it fixes it without having to mess around as much. =)
