(or at least the table is not displaying that correctly) Everytime I look at a routing table with a default gateway I see it this way: [jeff@goliath jeff]$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.2.15 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [jeff@goliath jeff]$ Note the flag of UG on the default gateway, and the IP address in the gateway column for that entry. With no default route your machine likely cannot talk to anything except hosts on the 2 local subnets.
