I am sorry, I changed the IP address to 192.168.1.12 and forgot to tell you all.

Yes

Ping 198.6.1.1 does NOT work.

All I have for refernce are windows computers. Under TCP/IP they use
192.168.1.x for the IP, 255.255.255.244 for the Subnet Mask, and 127.0.0.2 for
the Default Gateway. I have 208.137.248.4 as a nameserver. That is all I have to
go on.
I can ping all the computers that are around me (physically) -
192.168.1.2,192.168.1.7,etc.

I was wrong with that address, it should have been 192.168.1.12
