Still no luck with the "manual setting:"

root]# route add default gw 192.168.123.120 metric 1
root]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface bond0:                             [  OK  ]
Shutting down interface eth0:                              [  OK  ]
Shutting down interface eth1:                              [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:                                [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface lo:                                  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface bond0:                               [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:                                [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth1:                                [  OK  ]
[root at links root]# ping www.yahoo.com
ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com
root]#

Traffic on the LAN is fine. Even running an NFS server. Just can't get out.
Please help.
