You still might not even be able to ping your gateway if your ip route list is messed up. Example, I have a machine at 192.168.98.1 and one at 192.168.98.14. There is an entry in my ip route table that is: 192.168.98.0/24 dev eth1 scope link which basically says, go through dev eth1 for anything bound for that network. If I remove it, I can no longer ping my 192.168.98.14 address from 192.168.98.1 It doesn't know where it needs to go. Can you post the result from an ip route list?

I know the server is up, and I know the cables are good. It seems to be another issue.
