Connect: Network is unreachable

I relocated our office webserver and changed the IP address, gateway, and mask. After booting it at the new location. I cannot get to any outside host, nor can I get to this host from the outside. Odd thing is, I had a RaspberryPi connected to this same IP at the same location for a couple of days as a place-holder waiting for the "real" computer and everything worked fine. I'm kind of clueless as to where to start. It's probably something simple ...

$ ifconfig eth0

I can `dig yahoo.com` and the nameserver returns an answer, but I can neither ping yahoo.com or ping its IP, or ping any IP. For example:

$ host novatec-inc.com
novatec-inc.com has address 96.11.168.98
novatec-inc.com mail is handled by 10 novatec-inc.com.

$ ping novatec-inc.com
connect: Network is unreachable

$ ping 96.11.168.98
connect: Network is unreachable

Why is the network unreachable? I don't know if I'm having a hardware problem or just a simple/stupid configuration issue. Firewall is down.

Slackware 13.37.0, kernel 2.6.37.6-smp

more info, this external nmap says the host is up, but all 1000 scanned ports are blocked!? Firewall is down. I believe I was able to get into the RaspberryPi similarly configured a few hours before. I need ideas!

Netstat -rn,
Where is your name service? It is getting information.

You have two IPs on this system.
Ping/icmp ... Try. Telnet www.yahoo.com 80 is the connection established?

Double check your ip/netmask

The block can be on the carrier/router to which your system is plugged in.

Figured it out. A sharp eye would have noticed a space between "GATEWAY" and "=" in line 13 of my rc.inet1.conf posting. Certainly it took me all day to notice it. If fact, when rebooting for another test I saw something about "invalid GATEWAY in line 48".

Simple, stupid. Points all around!
