Tom,

he's using a supernet/CIDR block/classless (or whatever you want to call 
it) addressing, his valid range would be from 192.168.128.1 through 
192.168.135.254 so yes his gateway exists on his network.

Michael,

I've never tried using this type of addressing with Linux, assuming it 
does in fact work, I would be interested in seeing what the output of 
"/sbin/ifconfig eth0" is and if anything shows up in the arp table 
"/sbin/arp -a" what its output is.

could you post the output of those?
