Your box knows how to get to himself, but not to the world.  You need to set up
a default route pointing to your local gateway.  For example, in my environment,
my default router is at 192.168.100.1 -  see the last line in the output of
netstat?  It means that the destination of (any.any.any.any) that is not
supplied explicitly in the routing table will be forwarded to the machine at
192.168.100.1.

You need something similar.  You'll find it either in control-panel under the
network configuration, and then the routing tab, OR you can set it up manually
with the route command.

It will be something like
"route add default gw 192.168.7.1"

That should fix your problem.....

Hmm. What seems odd to me is this:  You shuold be able to ping 192.168.7.14 from
192.168.7.15.  In theory your machine should be able to reach it because it's on
the same subnet......  Baffling.

In any case, I'd bet that if you set up the default route it will start working.

Give that a shot and let us know what happens.
