In order to determine what is going on you need to give a lot more information.
1. How do these boxes get their network information? DHCP or static
2. If they are static, what controls the setting of ips:
NetworkManager or network-scripts
3. If they are static, how are they set in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
4. Do the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts list a GATEWAY=
5. If you are using network-manager, what does nmtui or the graphical
tool say the gateway or default route is?
