Your 'ifconfig' output looks fine. The big problem is your default route:
gw.bbros.com isn't in your routing table, so packets not destined for a 
route you have set up (192.168.6.* or 205.218.57.*) have no way to get
where they're going. Look at my working configuration:

Sorry about the wonky formatting. Where you want to be sending outbound
traffic through eth1, I'm using ppp0, but other than that, we have the
same thing going on. So what you need to change is your default gateway,
which should be 205.218.57.25. If that IP address is gw.bbros.com, you
need to make sure /etc/hosts and/or DNS is properly configured.

Check 'man route' for how to set 205.218.57.25 as your default gateway.

The duplicate entries should cause any trouble, but maybe they are.
Anyone? I've never had that problem.
