You could help us help you by showing what your routing tables currently
look like. But on the other hand, I can probably help you by showing
what my routing tables look like:
$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0

$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0

route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
If this doesn't help you, show us the output of those commands,
and we'll help you!
