Hi. Try changing your broadcast to 192.168.0.255.
If your gateway system is running a DNS server, then add its address to /etc/resolv.conf.
If your gateway system isn't running a DNS server, you will probably have to copy
the DNS addresses your gateway uses to the resolv.conf file. I use a linux box as my
gateway, so I can't tell you how to get ipmasq working. I have entries
in /etc/hosts for all the systems on my local network to access them by
name.
Hope this helps.
