`sh /etc/netstart em0` does not update the default route. So most probably
the default route is pointing to the wrong gateway.
A saver approach to reconfigure the network is
route -n flush
sh /etc/netstart
This fails to work in some cases (if the same networks is configured on
multiple interfaces) and don't do this over the network on a remote
machine.
