Having not read your dmesg output properly, I failed to see it's already at half-duplex. Sorry for the confusion, maybe I should leave for the weekend now. Forget my previous message, I got it plain wrong. Your gateway configuration is OK. Next thing to check is your (windoze?) notebook -- have a look at it's NIC properties. Failing to detect a problem there, you can always analyze tcpdump(1) output.
