[LUAU] roadrunner troubles

[Myles Uyema]

Well...after having repeatedly praised my roadrunner service this past
meeting, I'm caught with my foot-in-mouth.  Recently I've been having
some troubles with my roadrunner.  I have a feeling it's not me.  Of
course, I always think it's not my fault =)

Anyway, my DHCP client is getting the following information:
IPADDR=24.94.83.245
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
NETWORK=24.94.82.0
BROADCAST=24.94.83.255
GATEWAY=24.94.82.1
HOSTNAME=
DOMAIN=hawaii.rr.com
DNS=204.210.96.1
DHCPSIADDR=204.210.96.2
DHCPSHADDR=08:00:3E:03:F9:DA
DHCPSNAME=
LEASETIME=43200
RENEWALTIME=21600
REBINDTIME=37800

This is taken from /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth1.info
So my current IP address is 24.94.83.245 with netmask 255.255.254.0
and a GATEWAY of 24.94.82.1

But HOLD on a moment.  With the gateway like this, I have "no route to
204.210.96.1 204.210.96.2 204.210.96.3 which happen to be essential
hosts I need to be able to connect to.  The first two are the
hawaii.rr.com DNS servers, which I need to be able to to access in order
to resolve hosts.  204.210.96.3 is the login-server host, which I need
to login to.

Now listen to this: I MANUALLY added a default gateway of 24.94.83.1
and miraculously I no longer received any "network unreachable" errors.

I haven't called Oceanic yet, as I'm not 100% sure that this is a
problem with their servers/routers.  All I can say is I've had problems
ever since their 3/17 Network Status announcement that they were doing
maintentence on routers and backbone.

24.94.82.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.254.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         24.94.83.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         24.94.82.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

There's my routing table at the moment.  See my two default gateways
(24.94.83.1) I manually added in order for rrsmpcd to be able to
connect.

Any ideas Doug, or anyone else for that matter?
