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
It's netmask 255.255.248.0 shown, not 255.255.255.248.
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.
It would make a good reason but the numbers given are correct. The netmask is the same as a /21. 192.168.131.21 is on his 192.168.128.0/21 network[1]. I notice he misspelled kernel though, with no network he had to type it in, it's still possible there is a mistake that he didn't notice and typed what he thought he saw.
