Frap, yes, should be No

Thought I gave the files to look in earler in thread.
/etc/sysconfig/network has gateway
/etc/resolv.conf for dns nameservers

Yes, that is correct.

Let's assume your box is connected to a cable modem.
Unplug the power from the modem for 1 minute, by the watch.

If you have any equipment (router) in between, power reset it.

Post output from
cat /etc/sysconfig/network
cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases
route -n
ifconfig

Also, Show me what your hardware hookup is:

192.168.1.1 pc1 node's gateway
