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).
