all this talk about the routing table ... the only suspicious thing i
noticed in your routing table was that your gateway had a metric of 0 ...
but that won't have any effect on your not being able to ping hosts on the
same physical network.

you should grab tcpdump and use that to debug ... as someone mentioned
earlier, just run tcpdump on your host in one vterm and then open up
another vterm and attempt to ping something.  switch back to where tcpdump
is running, and you should see some output.  let us know what output you
see and hopefully we'll be able to help further :)
