>>BTW, that network mask looks odd to me:

24.1.248.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.248.0   U         0 0          0

Most commonly it would be 255.255.255.0, but Cox told me that mine
would be 255.255.255.128, and that works fine. Try setting it to
255.255.255.128.<<

Cox uses various network segment sizes, so that netmask is not terribly
surprising. My netmask for Cox is 255.255.254.0. Traditional network segment
sizes are actually becoming uncommon.

I always configure my system statically. I have seen special articles
on getting DHCP to work with Cox, apparently it is non-standard in some
way (?).
