Are you using an onboard NIC? Is it a Marvell chipset? I've noticed a couple weird things like this with very particular Marvell chips. (instance where things would looks correct and it wouldn't necessarily report problems, but it would not get a gateway or wouldn't pick up an IP from DHCP.)
My solution was to toss in a PCI NIC and update the kernel. If that didn't fix it, I downloaded and installed the actual NIC module from Marvell.
