I know. All the more strange. I just went through the steps again (use
dhcp with the network gui, save settings, stop/start network) and here's
the results:
5) root:~> route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
24.35.40.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

6) root:~> more /etc/sysconfig/network

7) root:~> more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

The same info is in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and profile.
So perhaps the save in the network gui doesn't work properly. Still...

Very very weird. I did get an address via dhcp, no default route in the
routing table, while the network scripts insist on setting a private
address, dating back from when I was going out through the router.
