Hi,

  I think you will find that you have maybe entered the gateway or
machine ip wrongly (or it is setup wrongly).  You have a netmask of
255.255.255.0 and the gateway is on a different subnet to the ip or your
box.  ie, it is on 212.116.135 and you are 212.116.134.  The netmask
means it cannot talk directly to that machine and requires a gateway on
the same subnet.
  I hope I got this right (my Cisco course says this is so ;) but I
could be wrong.  Hope this helps.

-lewiz.
