sorry, forgot to explain what the difference...  what you have is an entry 
for the default route to be your IP, not the gataway IP as it should 
be.  Also, you don't have a local route to your own IP.

What distro are you using?  I would check that your GATEWAY setting is 
pointed to the gateway and not your own IP.  But usually if that is the 
case, you can ONLY ping yourself....  but it is worth checking.
