Unhappy Cannot ping my gateway

I am trying to set up Linux on my Fujitsu s6010 Lifebook and I cannot get networking to work. I tried Fedora yesterday, and I am trying Gentoo today. I have tried static IP and DHCP. I know that the numbers are correct, because they worked with Windows XP 2 days ago on the same computer.

I can ping 127.0.0.1 and I can ping 128.252.223.165 (my IP) but I cannot ping the gateway by IP nor can I ping anything outside.

Please help.

/sbin/ifconfig
Code:
eth0    Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:00:BD:36:AD
           inet addr:128.252.223.165 Bcast:128.252.223.233 Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:ff:febd:36ad/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

What does your routing table look like:
route -n

I did

ifconfig eth0 128.252.223.165 broadcast 128.252.223.255 netmask 255.255.255.0

When I try to ping 128.252.223.254 it still says Destiantion Host Unreachable

So is this a hopeless cause? Is it back to Windows for me?
