Pain in the butt Gateway

Hey all,

I have set up a RedHat boxen on my network. I set the machine to install via
FTP via my gateway machine, lets say 192.168.255.1. The boxen IP is
192.168.255.3. Allright, /etc/sysconfig/network says my gateway is
"192.168.255.1". All should be well, right?

Well, it isn't. I can ping all my internal network, 192.168.255.X. However,
I cannot ping anywhere outside my world, while the rest of my internal
network can. I do a "netstat -rn" and it tells me that my IP 192.168.255.3
has a gateway of 0.0.0.0, and my IP address of 0.0.0.0 has a gateway of
192.168.255.1. ifconfig says inet addr:192.168.255.3  Bcast:192.168.255.255

Why would that be?

This is just weird...  any suggestions? what files to manipulate?


thanks!
