The ip is addr:192.239.1.73 and the gw is 206.168.1.199? Hows traffic 
supposed to get there? Thats a different network that is maked out by
your subnet mask. You need to route add -net or something. Check the 
NET-3-HOWTO and look for -net. I think the problem is, you're specifying 
a gateway that you dont have a route to. Unless youcant ping the 
interface at all. But I'm not there. I have no idea.
