Not exactly sure why this would affect your internal network, but your
choice of default router is very wrong. Think about it, when your
machine has a packet that it does not know how to get directly to
another machine via one of its interfaces, what should it do with it?
You told it to send it back to _itself._ Get your default router from
your network admin. It's probably xxx.xxx.xxx.1 or xxx.xxx.xxx.254
(I'm on @Home too and it happens to be .1, but YMMV).
