This output from netstat -r does not show and default route and a
misconfigured route to the 204.210.122.0/23 network.  If your IP is
204.210.118.39, with a netmask of 255.255.254.0, then you 
need to do several things.  First remove the misconfigured route with:

route del 204.210.122.0

Next you have to add the route the network your computer is on with:

route add -net 204.210.118.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 dev eth0

And last of all you have to add a default route so that your computer
knows how to reach and computer not directly connected to the same
network with:

route add default gw 204.210.118.1

Once this is done you should be able to ping any IP you want, and once you
can ping, whatever road runner login program you want to use should be
able to talk with Oceanics session manager.  I hope this helps you fix
your problems.
