I also have encountered this problem, here is some additional information:
Problem on X86_64 version of CentOS 5,
Problem NOT present on i386 CentOS 5.
The 'setup' -> Network configuration looks different on the i386 machine
than it does on the X86_64 machine, even though both are running "Text Modem Setup Utility 1.19.2" as displayed on the screen in the shell menu. The i386 prompts the user asking, "Would you like to setup networking?", while the x86_64 machine only has a form for the user to fill out after being prompted to "Select a Device"
The only way to use 'setup' and be able to access the Internet from the X86_64 machine is with using DHCP. If you assign a static IP address on the X86_64 machine, it own't be able to access the Internet while it can access the LAN as I have verified with using 'ping'.
I would be glad to provide additional info if needed for debugging this.
