Ray:
Just to clarify what you found, when you say you had two for eth0, was that default gateways or two routes for eth0?
A really simple table might look like this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The last one, the one with 0.0.0.0 in the leftmost (Destination) column is the default route. You should have one of those and it should have a gateway defined (not 0.0.0.0 - but the gateway's IP like the 192.168.1.1 above).
If your interface is configured correctly (proper netmask, etc.), your default route setup properly, and any iptables rules in place verified to make sure they're not the culprit...then it should work.
Did you compile this kernel upgrade you spoke of yourself? From your earlier post, I assumed that the new kernel was able to drive your NIC. If you do:
ifconfig eth0
do you get a configuration stanza for eth0 or an error? If you get config information, then the kernel can see the card okay (which it has to in order to have eth0 show up in your routing table...just grasping at straws I guess).
Anyway, let me know if you're sure your routing table looks good and if you get it to work.
