OK, here's the status. My server, the screwy one, can ping the default
gateway AND the Linux workstation on my desk. It can't ping the nameserver
or Yahoo (and presumably any other outside machine).

My workstation, which gets its IP via DHCP from the server and has
essentially the same routing table, works perfectly. I can ping and
connect to any machine. So the gateway (NetWare) appears to be fine.

Where do I go from here?
