1.  An earlier suggestion was to power off then back on the modem.  Have 
you done that?

2.  What is the output of 'ifconfig eth0' ?  Does it match the  
24.159.201.xxx above?

3.  Can you ping the eth0 address?

I have at times had to power off then back on the modem,  followed by 
'service network restart' when my cable ISP went braindead.  That 
sequence usually works.
