Brian,

please do not mind that I ask, but who did give you the dates/IPs you
took to set up your systems?

Let me take it again: you have a netmask of 255.255.255.248 for the IP
142.179.210.232 - given by your ISP or did you shake some bones at that
came out?

If the data above is correct, then you got by your provider a subnet of
142.179.210.232/29. I wonder why the IP of your router is not within
this net. Did you first got 1 IP and later additional IPs?

If you set the router's gateway IP to 192.168.2.1 this is senseless, but
may do no harm to routing. But your inner net, behind the router, seems
to be helpless misconfigured.

Taking your router IP is correct with 142.179.210.24 and you got
additional IPs then following is your net data:

$ ./cidr.pl 142.179.210.232/29
142.179.210.232/29: network 142.179.210.232 broadcast 142.179.210.239
netmask 255.255.255.248

Take as first IP from that range 142.179.210.233 with the network,
broadcast and netmask from above. For the second host take
142.179.210.234 and data from above too for network, broadcast and
netmask. And so forth.

If you got now totally puzzled, then please ask the person who gave you
the IP/Net data information to be sure your information is correct.

Alexander
