For one thing you're using an IP network belonging to Mitsubishi in Japan.
If you are playing around at home, use 192.168.*.* or one of the other
reserved internal networks.

Does your linux box have a loopback route?

I am having similar problems. I have 2 machines, a linux
machine(192.168.1.1) and a win95 one (192.168.1.2). I have installed
the network card correctly but now my lo interface refuses to start at
boot although the xwindows network configuration tool says that it is
active and that it is started at boot, ifconfig shows only my ethernet
adapter. I could start it manually but then I disabled gated and it
doesn't seem to work at all now. Any tips? Is gated really neccessary
for a home network?

No, It's not. If your box has a single route to the Internet and another
to the local network, there's no need to have gated running.

gated does not perform any routing itself - it just manages your route
table through the use of several routing protocols it supports (RIP,
OSPF, etc). If you just have static routes, there's no practical need
for running gated.
