And we have a winner. There is no Gateway address in your route list. I can
tell because none of the routes you have are flagged as UG, just U. This means
you need to add a default route of the following:

Destination 0.0.0.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Genmask 0.0.0.0

This can be done with the route command (don't recall the syntax). Not sure why
dhcp isn't doing it for you when it gets your IP address from the router though.

doh... Caught by windows... it is ifconfig for *nix OSes. I keep forgetting that.
