Hi Paul,

Check your network interface duplex settings with mii-tool. In my case,
I got ICMP destination host unreachable errors such as yours when my
linux router's interfaces were set to 100Mbps after a reboot  since it
only supported 10Mbps. 
So assuming your routing tables are set correctly, maybe link
auto-negotiation is playing up.

Matt
