Check if 'GATEWAY=' is defined in the ifcfg-ethX files
for which you have BOOTPROTO=dhcp .
If so, removing it may fix your problem.
dhclient will now honor GATEWAY, and attempt to set
the default route to GATEWAY if it is on the subnet
received from DHCP - otherwise , if GATEWAY is set
and not on the DHCP subnet, it sets no default route.
system-config-network leaves static configuration
settings in ifcfg-ethX files for DHCP interfaces.
This should be fixed with the next version of
system-config-network (bug 149780).
