I went to bed last night and see that you didn't solve it and there were
too many of us giving you directions anyway...
We know that your problem isn't about getting past the router, it's that
your computer doesn't have a default gateway. Thus it has no knowledge
of how to get to a network other than 192.168.0.0/24 (assuming a 'class
c' subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 - pretty normal in 192.168 ip space)
You had a static route for 192.168.0.1 which doesn't make any sense and
I hope that you deleted that. A static route != gateway
The next question becomes, why does the laptop get an ip address but not
a default gateway from dhcp? Probably because it isn't configured in the
dhcp server (the router providing dhcp? - fix that in dhcp)
using commands like
ifdown eth1
ifup eth1
should knock down your interface and bring it back up again, hopefully
getting the changed dhcp settings
of course, you can manually add a default gateway after the network
interface is active from suggestions last night.
