Always an option but don't give up yet.

First, What is iproute needed for ?  I don't have it so I cannot say what it
might be doing.

Next, lets start all over. Sorry but I have slept since this started even if
you have not :)

We (I) could use the answer to a few things:

Distribution, what upgrades, kernel version etc.
Brief description of situation IIRC :
    your work station is firewall and can get to the net.  no other machnie can
see the firewall with ping, firewall cannot ping other internal machines
either.  No internal machines can get to the net (DUH!)

Now:
 how did you setup your networking?  manually edit files or some tool like
linuxconf?

Give us the output of the following: Ignore the parentheical comments of course
:)

ifconfig
route -n  (the -n is because I still don't know the name of your machine, and I
can get it from ifconfig output)

ps axw     (any thing weird running)

cat  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local    ( if anything done there we need to see)

cat /etc/sysconfig/network

cat /etc/sysconfig/static-routes   (where are the route being set)

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and one last shot in the dark:  cat /sbin/ifup.local  (if exists)

I guess while we are at it :

ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d   ( or what ever runlevel you are running)

I don't think that any of this is a security risk other than perhaps the ps but
a portscan would do that any way so I guess not.

I'll be out for a while this evening but will try to help if I can.

Bret
