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 (?).
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.
