Router Setup Problem

[Michael Butash]

Exactly - most gateways use the first usable address as a gateway, like 
.1, so are you really sure your router is .5?  That is... abnormal.

Traceroute 68.2.16.30 (cox dns server) to see what the deal is.  Really 
seems you're not getting to your gateway, so it'll die at .5.  Ping .5 
address too, is it there?

Try dhcp, static is not a requirement really as long as your dhcp/router 
is stable.  It's not windoze server here, should be alright.
