and the key is in the routing table (/sbin/route -n).
eth0:
- static IP of 10.0.11.16 with a mask of 255.255.255.0
- connected to a router, which is connected to the rest of my LAN and a
cable modem #1
This ALONE would be OK
eth1:
- dynamic IP
- connected directly to cable modem #2
and you probably expect this to lead to the world - why bother, when
eth0 already fulfills that need.
eth2:
- dynamic IP
- connected directly to cable modem #1
And why should the kernel use this in preference to eth0?
See the Adv-Routing-HOWTO which should be on your system. Any time
you have more than one route that will take you "someplace", the kernel
will choose the one with the lowest metric - and if the metric is equal,
will choose the last one configured.
I've pasted the results from ifconfig below.
Your munging makes the ifconfig information completely useless.
WHAT is going on here? Can someone point me in the right direction as
far as troubleshooting this?

Person who set up the routing doesn't understand the way networking uses
the word "default" meaning as when NOTHING ELSE applies, use this. You
have three defaults - which one to use?
