I'm not sure I understand the question. Hardware-wise, I have a switch coupled to a router coupled to a DSL modem coupled to the Internet through SBC. The router's IP is correctly shown in "route" as the gateway. The genmask is the same 255.255.255.255. Should be 255.255.255.0.
Actually, the genmask for the default gateway should be 0.0.0.0
What do the scripts say in /etc/sysconfig/network?

How do you get your IP address? DHCP, or static?
Static. This machine serves DHCP to the rest of the network (or at least the parts that need it). On Tue, 2004-05-04 at 08:41, Pieter Hulshoff wrote:

"ifconfig" says the following about eth0: inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.255
What is the netmask defined in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0? If it's incorrect there, you could try a manual edit of the file, and then a restart of your network.
linux1:/etc/sysconfig/network # cat ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' IPADDR='192.168.1.5' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='192.168.1.19' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE=<don't really need to know that, do you?> Again, thanks so much to everyone looking into this.
