You have no loopback route, so packets for 194.44.138.1 go to the default 
route (193.124.228.129).  In your /etc/sysconfig you should have some 
routing lines.  Make sure they set the loopback route.  It should look 
like this:

static_routes="multicast loopback default"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
route_default="default 193.124.228.129"
