That cannot be good...okay, let's try something, enter

ifconfig
and post what you get about eth0 here...
When a network is unreachable, that can mean that the two hosts are in a different subnet. You could have (let's say) 192.168.1.250 and the gateway 192.168.0.24, I marked the numbers of interest in red. This difference could make a network unreachable.

net addr:129.112.73.231 Bcast:129.112.73.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
Gotcha! And what is the IP address of the gateway?
Oh, by the way, do the same routine with a well-behaved box, you'll see a different IP address...of course, but apart from the last entry, the three first entries should be the same...

i typed
ifconfig eth0 255.255.112.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 bcast 129.112.14.255 up
and result is
SIOSIFADDR:Invalid argument
bcast: Host name lookup failure
ifconfig eth0 255.255.112.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 bcast 129.112.14.255 up
Nonono, it should read:
Quote:
ifconfig eth0 129.112.14.X netmask 255.255.14.0 bcast 129.112.14.255 up
where X is any number between 1 and 255, and NOT used already
By the way, can you ask an IP address from the IT manager? Just a thought, since this is a university

I think the 255.255.255.0 is the network mask, because there is a note on the computer said so.
