I checked my box and it doesn't have the host route either.

I have seen a problem twice now with old isa ne2000 clones where it 
would go to sleep, it couldn't be pinged from a remote box until you 
generated some traffic locally.

I ended up putting something like `ping -qi10 somebox &` in a startup
script somewhere. Eventually the card was changed and the problem went
away.
