Ok, so your route table shows that your host is ARP-ing for
everything remote.

Hey, that's weird. Your loopback interface is down. Hmm, I'm trying
to thing of what that could do...
What happens when you "ifconfig lo up"?

Hmmm. That's certainly recent enough.
Please let me know if enabling your loopback interface helps. I think
there's some strange interaction between the routing code and the ARP
code going on here.
