In order to reach hosts outside your directly-attached network (or subnet), your machine needs to be able to find a suitable router. In the common case where you are on a "leaf" network (i.e. only one way out), edit your /etc/hostconfig file to specify the router's IP address as you see it, e.g. ROUTER=128.189.109.1 Things get more complicated if you're not a leaf site, in which case you should contact whoever maintains your local network; they may tell you to use ROUTER=-ROUTED-, or they may provide alternative software that needs to be started from /etc/rc.local -=EPS=-
