Just for kicks, have you verified that "/sbin/route" shows the way out?  Have 
you tried to ping by IP address to anything on the local network? Have you 
tried disabling any IPTables stuff that may be in the way?  "/sbin/iptables 
-L" should just tell you that the three primary chains are all set to ACCEPT.

Other than that, the rest of the information requested by Ben would be 
helpful.
