Let's start from scratch, what is /sbin/ifconfig giving and /sbin/route?
What is your network config? Fixed IP with a DNS server apparently?
in that case you could try:
# ifconfig eth0 your.fixed.IP.number netmask there.your.net.mask broadcast
your.favorite.broadcast.number
#route add default gw your.gateway.IP.number dev eth0
#route add your.fixed.IP.number dev eth0
There is a netcfg command that may help you (it needs X) in addition to
netconf.
Hope it could help a bit,
