Hi Michael,
Unless I'm missing something here, there is a mismatch in IP ranges.
Your first line references 192.168.128.0/255.255.255.248, yet the
default gateway is 192.168.131.21 which I don't think responds to a
192.168.128.0/255.255.255.0 network. You may want to check your IP
address for eth0, "ifconfig eth0", and make sure it's on the same class
C network range that your default gateway is. This kind of problem
would account for the "Destination unreachable" messages.

Tom,
he's using a supernet/CIDR block/classless (or whatever you want to call
it) addressing, his valid range would be from 192.168.128.1 through
192.168.135.254 so yes his gateway exists on his network.
Michael,
I've never tried using this type of addressing with Linux, assuming it
does in fact work, I would be interested in seeing what the output of
"/sbin/ifconfig eth0" is and if anything shows up in the arp table
"/sbin/arp -a" what its output is.
could you post the output of those?
