Brilliant - thanks - that's exactly what I needed.

What's that output of "netstat -rn"

/sbin/ifconfig -a

Quite likely. However, your DHCP server *should* be giving you the right
gateway.

What's that output of "netstat -rn", and what did you put in

There's also a GUI tool for setting up networking: system-config-network

I'd try avoid posting to public mailing lists with silly disclaimers if at
all possible.
