there is a default gateway missing here, probably because of problems below

this file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0) is severely
screwed up.  it contains mixtures of static ip (IPADDR is defined) and
dhcp (BOOTPROTO=dhcp) config.  Stop the network (service network
stop).  Take a backup of that file (but DON'T put it in the same
directory, it may confuse the system into thinking it has another
device, try copying to /root) then change the contents to the
following:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:0D:88:25:FE:FD
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
IPV6INIT=no

then restart your network
