It's the way you have the routing. A linux host does not need a route to
itself.

route's output
[root@victory scsi]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
We don't need a route to ourself. We already know how to talk to ourself.
"route del -host 192.168.1.1" would fix the above line. Maybe you need it
in some versions of un*x, but not linux.
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
[root@baby]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.255 U 0 0 4 eth0
127.0.0.1 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 3 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
This is good. This should work fine, as long as you intend for 192.168.1.1
to be the default route for this machine.
