Either your Gateway or your NetMask are set incorrectly.
If your NetMask really is 255.255.255.252, then with an IP address of 192.168.0.14,
the ONLY valid Gateway address is 192.168.0.13 and NOT .0.3 (did you mae
a typo here?)
If your gateway really is 192.168.0.3, then your netmask has to be 255.255.255.240
(a /28) or less (.0, .128, .192, or .224 (/24, /25, /26, or /27, respectively)
).
