I've never tried doing exactly what you are so I don't know the exact solution to your situation. It still looks like a routing issue to me though.
it might not hurt to run through the basics.
Your /etc/resolv.conf is right right?
Other files that affect networking include:
/etc/hosts
/etc/host.conf
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/inetd.conf
Then there is the mysterious:
ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent-net.rules
The name alone suggests how they could be involved. Been there, edited them.
Useful commands messing around with all of this include:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
/etc/init.d/udev restart
route -n
arp
Then there is the often annoying Gnome demon named avahi which has given me endless problems in the past networking. It may pay you to examine what it is doing closely if it is on your system. Ripping it out and burying it in a hole in the backyard comes to mind as well ...
Well that is enough paint thrown around in hopes something will stick for now. Maybe checking all this will give you a clue where your troubles lie?
Good luck!
