Here's a concrete example to illustrate my point -- NO changes were made
which would be visible to ifconfig output...  feel free to try it
yourself...

Here, routing is direct between the hosts...
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth0
# traceroute bones
traceroute to bones.pfortin.com (192.168.1.100), 30 hops max, 38 byte
packets
 1  www (192.168.1.100)  0.873 ms  0.315 ms  0.202 ms

Here, the routing is through my gateway... sound like the original
issue...?
# route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth0

# traceroute bones
traceroute to bones.pfortin.com (192.168.1.100), 30 hops max, 38 byte
packets
 1  r41 (192.168.1.1)  0.628 ms  3.133 ms  0.212 ms  <--<<<<
 2  linux (192.168.1.100)  0.340 ms  0.603 ms  0.247 ms

Working backwards without benefit of the above, can traceroute positively
confirm the missing entry in "route"...?
