No Internet Connectivity on CentOS 4.4 Final

I'm Running CentOS release 4.4 (Final) on an HP DL360 Server with two NIC cards. I currently cannot communicate with anything outside the local network. I can ping and connect to all devices on the internal network including other devices on other internal networks. This means the router is routing traffic for this host. All other hosts on the network can communicate with the internet. This box and all others on the network are configured to use a local DNS server. This box is resolving domain names to IP address. I can ping the router and the firewall connected to the internet and vice versa, therefore all local communication is good. I found this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ss#post2550959 where someone was running into the same problem on this release. Their solution was a reinstall, which is not an option for me. Therefore I’m starting a new thread in hopes of some help finding a solution to this problem. The system has two NICs. eth0 is being used and eth1 is disabled and not used.

This is the topology of how this box is connected to the network/internet.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

My setup is to place the Gateway line in the ifcfg-eth0 file. The other two lines left look fine there. Also I use the line bootproto=none. You also say eth1 is down. I would make sure to have onboot=no in the ifcfg-eth1 file. Only other thought is if not using IPv6 is to make sure it is disabled. This can be done by adding this line to /etc/modprobe.conf.
alias ipv6 off
Last thought is if using a web browser to look at internet site use The IP instead of the domain name of the web site to see if that works.

Also I know DNS names are resolving as I have an Intranet DNS server and the names are resolving to the correct IP's; I've checked this with other machines and they resolve the same IP's. I still have not access to the Internet, any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who tried to help. Turns out when I had a Cisco tech config a limited VPN connection to that host he put a static route that looped all outbound (internet) traffic from that host back to itself? Must have thought I didn't want that host getting to the internet. He did a good job of that I just wasn't what I wanted :). Thanks again for the input. Problem is now fixed, and wasn't the OS's fault ;).
