Okay, both of those show the same thing missing.

What you need to do is edit /etc/sysconfig/network and make the
"GATEWAYDEV=" line say "GATEWAYDEV=eth0" and make the "GATEWAY=" line have
the IP address for your router.  (probably "GATEWAY=192.168.1.1" or
"GATEWAY=192.168.1.254" -- check on your other machines or just try both of
those.)
