Edit - what is the IP address of your router/modem?
What do you mean by neatly in the network shell?

I think the pi doesn't know the router IP. Is there a way to make ifconfig return this info?

My router/modem (same thing as the gateway, right?) IP is 192.168.1.1. I can ping it from another server on my network.

Looks like my gateway is set correctly, no? This is the Pi:

Thanks Melissa, I very much appreciate your help and understanding. But you have to agree, it was quite the bonehead move! While not true in general life, one thing I always appreciate in technology is when I am facing something that seems just plain old impossible, I always eventually figure out exactly the culprit.
