Problem with CentOS 6 configuring network

Bryan,

>From terminal I am able to ping the loopback, local machine, an iMac on my
system, the router, 4.2.2.2, and news.google.com.

Also when I put in the gateway address to the router in Firefox I can bring
up the router admin page.

So I don't think it is the braodcom card.

I sent the following $ ping -c4 ip-address, and each time I get back

  4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time (ranged from 29 ms
to 3034 ms)

a typical line: " 64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=30.5 ms "

???
