I have not read all the threads on this, and maybe you have tried this, but
when I have issues like this I always start internally. Ping the loghost.
Have you set your route to your default router? I remember you mentioning
something about it via your route table. Can you ping your default router?
Have you tried another ethernet cable?

Just a few things...
