That helps. Now I get:

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
127.0.0.0     0.0.0.0       255.0.0.0       U     0      0     0 lo
0.0.0.0       192.168.0.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0     0 eth0

and I can browse the Internet. But, if I restart the network, the third
line is no longer there. However, this did suggest a place to look. I
logged out and logged back in as root and looked in the Gnome menus for
something with which to set configurations -- I didn't remember what it
was called. I found LinuxConf and sure enough, there was a place to put
the Gateway, and it was empty. I put 192.168.0.1 into that field.
Everything works as expected. Plus, now that I remember what it's
called, I can su and run /sbin/linuxconf without logging out and logging
back in as root.

Thanks to all for your assistance.
