The default route on the gateway is a dialup account. Since I was not diled in at the time, it did not show in the routing table. As it turns out, the problem was, of course, simple. I am guessing that my switch was bad even though all the lights were correct (I did not want to pay $30 to test it) and my crossover cable was definately bad (that the shop would test for free). A new $10 crossover cable and I am running again.
