I have a very weird situation on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server. I can not access (ping) my gateway, although I believe my config is ok - I attach the outputs. Any hints where to look? (I changed the beginning of the IP to something different, just obfuscation) ping 5.9.10.129

PING 5.9.10.129 (5.9.10.129) 56(84) bytes of data.

UPD: Eric, this is how routing information looks on a working server:

0.0.0.0         78.47.198.49    0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0
78.47.198.48    78.47.198.49    255.255.255.240 UG    0      0        0 eth0
78.47.198.48    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.240 U     0      0        0 eth0

As I understand it, Hetzner tries to ensure security by this, so I can not take over an IP by changing my MAC. But this is another server, which has another netmask (255.255.255.240)

UPD2: BatchyX, on the working server:

78.47.198.49 dev eth0  src 78.47.198.60 
    cache 

on the broken:

5.9.10.129 dev eth0  src 5.9.10.142
    cache
