My ISP (Comcast) has recently started giving me DHCP client information with which I cannot ping my gateway. I get an IP address of x.x.110.6/22, on network x.x.108.0 with a gateway of x.x.108.1. The default route added by the DHCP client has the x.x.108.1 gateway for address 0.0.0.0/0 and x.x.108.0/22 on ether1. Pinging the gateway address times out. I can ping x.x.110.1 though. Everything seems to work OK other than pinging the gateway, which I had been using in Netwatch to determine if my ISP was down. Can anybody explain why I cannot ping the gateway?
