Re: [vox-tech] Can't access internet.

255.255.252 is weird but probably correct.  If I understand subnets
correctly, that would mean that 24.207.8.1-254, 24.207.9.1-254, and
24.207.10.1-254 would all be on the same subnet.  Weird, dunno why
they like that, but, to each his own.

I'd say Jeff's right, that other default route is to blame.

"route del -net treehouse.ellis" I believe.
