Well, this is interesting.
If I use "nameif" to give the interface a name and security level, and then do a "show interface" command, it says "IP address unassigned." If I try to do an "ip address" command at the prompt to assign an IP address, it accepts it, but still says "IP address unassigned" in the "show interface" output. No IP address I try to enter will "take."
If I undo the nameif command by doing a "no nameif," then all of a sudden the IP address re-appears in the configuration, and I'm back to the "no route to host" error.
The address I'm trying to configure on the inside interface is 192.168.0.3, which works when I use that address from the "monitor>" prompt.
Here is the current "show config" output:
