Though when I first tried this it didn't work, I took a break to clean out my kernel (remove IPv6, and support for dozens of things I don't have and will never use), and after recompiling, things were up and running perfectly. I now recall having had this problem previously, and remember that flushing the routing table was what fixed it. I don't know why I couldn't remember this when it mattered. Thanks for your help.
