I've a new CentOS 5 minimalist install; this will be the name server

Setting up on a different network, I did this:
dhclient eth0 and successfully got a private address; I also
validated that the resolv.conf file was created by the
dhclient-script and it was, accurately pointing to my gateway and
listing a domain name server by IP.
That's where the fun stops. Even pinging an IP, so as not to rely on
name resolution, I get the dreaded 'Network is unreachable' error.

As a quick check before doing the above, just run
route add default gw nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn dev eth0
supplying the appropriate gateway address and device, of course.
Robert,
Thank you. That did the trick.
It's clearly been a long day. I'd read earlier that even if I'd a
static IP/NM, etc, setup, dhclient eth0 would temporarily let me use my
private network, but taking the interface down and up would return to
the static settings.
Never even dawned on me that it was a routing issue. yeah, it's been a
long day
Thanks loads,
~R
