I tried a crossover cable, with the same results, but
I am not convinced that it is working, either.  This
evening I am going to try and see if I can get it (and
my switch) tested.

desktop box (192.168.0.3):

route -n:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags
Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U    
0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG   
0      0        0 eth0


gateway box (192.168.0.1):

route -n:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags
Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U    
0      0        0 eth0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U    
0      0        0 eth0


I have removed iptables from the desktop box in an
effort to eliminate possible problems and I upgraded
the gateway box from  a 2.2.xx to a 2.4.xx kernel and
have not yet installed iptables (to replace the
ipchains that had been running there) so there is
currently no firewall running on either box.  (No need
for one until I can get this resolved.)

I appoloize for the word wrap.  I am stuck using my
laptop (Windows) and a webmail gateway (Yahoo) until I
can get this fixed and have my desktop box back on the
Net.  The automatic wrap seems to be a Yahoo Mail
thing.
