Brian,
1) You seem to have 2 IP addresses assigned to eth0. Do you have 2
networks attached to a HUB/ROUTER?
2) Your gateway is all messed up.
a. A gateway is how your machine (server or not) can get to IP
addresses it does not know about. For example, my gateway is
192.168.10.10... This means that if my computer does not know how to route a
packet it will send the packet to the gateway to be forwarded to the
destination.
b. The one with UG is the gateway and you are saying for it to get to
142.179.210.232 it has to sent the packet to 142.179.210.232.... see my
confusion.
First, find out what the gateway IP address for your network is. Without
more information about how you have your network configured I'm not sure.
It could be the IP addres you are using is the one that is assigned the
modem/DSL router. This should not be the case!!! If so, you need to get
another IP address assigned or setup a private network.
Usually, the gateway route looks something like this when properly setup:
default 142.179.210.232 255.255.255.248 UG 0 0 0
eth0
142.179.210.233 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0
0 lo
* represents 0.0.0.0
default also represents 0.0.0.0
Don't take my numbers, you need to know what they need to be to properly
setup your connection.
Sorry, I hope this helps a little,
James Kosin

This machine is connected to a hub that is connected to the DSL modem.
There is a router also connected to the hub. This machine and the router
have their own static IP's. I need to change the gateway address it
would seem. Can I do this from the command line? I have the gateway
address from my ISP.
