OK I solved my own thread :)

Sorry for the noise... there are sooo many ways/distro scripts (so it seems
to me anyway) to do the same thing.
I had a different default gateway specified in /etc/sysconfig/network than
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files.

Don't know how it messed me up in this particular instance, but my toaster
is working again :)
