from the IP block i see you are using i assume that you are using Telstra ADSL. I am also using Telstra ADSL and everything works fine, i have set it up on 3 other machines now and they all work great as well so i can't think or what is going wrong. I get the same result as you when i type route -n and also u can't ping that IP address. If your going to try and ping something ping bigpond.com or any address outsite your machine. I am trying to think or a way to help you via e-mail but i can't think, if you want and its totally up to you send me an e-mail with some of your details, pref your phone number, and i might be able to walk you through to same configs i have, all this assuming you live in australia and are with Telstra ADSL. send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] only if you want.
