I love anwering this question since I had the same problem and someone else
helped me with the same simple fix.
The problem is that you specified your default gateway as eth0. You do NOT
want a default route pointing to yourself! Go back into the net config tool,
remove the default gateway setting and you will be fine.
Another sympton of this problem BTW is that a 'route' or 'netstat -r' command
will hang rather than displaying your routing table.
Good luck!
