No, I'm afraid our broadcast would not end with 255, since our network number
doesn't end with a zero, rather it is 198.19.122.160. I got some info from
Ford who told me that it was supposed to be 198.19.122.191. But this did not
help, though. I'm starting to think the problems might be on the client side.
I'll post a copy of my routing table if that can help any of you people:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window Use Iface
gw6.oslo.no.pow * 255.255.255.255 UH 1500 0 7 ppp0
194.19.122.160 * 255.255.255.224 U 1500 0 2 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 3584 0 4 lo
default gw6.oslo.no.pow * UG 1500 0 13 ppp0

I've set 194.19.122.161 to be the default gateway on the client computers.
That is the address of eth0 in the Linux box. You can try to do a ping of
194.19.122.161, and you'll see that it's up and running. If, however you try
for example 194.19.122.162, you'll get nothing, and I can't get outside my
own network from that IP, either. Hrmf...
