What is that supposed to do?? You were in a hurry I presume, because none of
the commands make sense - sorry
1.) Did You mean:
ifconfig eth0 broadcast 10.16.197.255 up
- It didn't make a change. I said that in the original mail.
2.) The default GW is not the problem.
- When pinging my own interface I don't use routing. But anyway, in the
route table there is the explanation:
/root [root]# route 
Kernel routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags MSS    Window Use
Iface
10.16.0.0       *               255.255.254.0   U     1500   0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     3584   0        2 lo
- (The local net is wrong - never seen that...)
/root [root]# route del 10.16.196.0
/root [root]# route add localnet eth0
/root [root]# route add default gw 10.16.196.1
/root [root]# route 
Kernel routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags MSS    Window Use
Iface
localnet        *               255.255.254.0   U     1500   0        3 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     3584   0        4 lo
default         10.16.196.1     *               UG    1500   0        0 eth0
This works fine now - but 
- after a reboot everything is gone
- anyone els using "uneven" masks will have the same prob.
