The only time I have seen this problem is when there is both a wired NIC and a wireless NIC in the same machine. And the network config really doesn't know which one should point to the gateway.
that might be the problem, eth0 is a wired LAN card, eth1 is the wireless. In my case ( at home) they should BOTH point to the gateway, because it is my wireless router, and that should be part of the wireless setup, or did it just ask for DHCP server.. now I forget..
If they are both on the same subnet... (probably) they *can't* both point to the same gateway. If they did, which path should the system take? This is most likely your problem and you can test that by deleting the wired nic from your config until you sort it out.
