Yes, the 'route' command showed that the defaut gateway address looks correct so far as I can tell (it matches the value given to me by our networking folks). I've looked through /var/log/messages for 'eth0' and don't see anything indicative of a problem (other than NM saying it was ignoring eth0, which is what I expected since I'm using s-c-network due to it being a static address. I may try switching it to DHCP and seeing if it then works, that might narrow down the source of the problem.
