Thanks to those that responded. Turns out that having defroute=no is the problem - really helps to actually read what is in the ifcfg-eth0 file. On a side note - the various ADSL broadband routers supplied by the NZ telcos all seem to have missing or broken bits - the vodafone one doesn't open the firewall properly for incoming http - the telecom device allows one to specify a different IP address for the router but not the gw address - thus it only works if you use their default IP/gw address.
