I just want to say upfront that you've done an excellent job of including
the information that we'll need to start fixing this problem!  It's not
often that we get this much (and useful) output.

Is this a mistype?  Check 'ifconfig eth0' on Linux and 'winipcfg' on Windows
to see what each thinks it's IP is.

That first line should read:

        127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

else you'll find that some things break.

Could you post the output of 'ifconfig eth0' and 'route -n'?  

Thanks!
