Your route information is correct, as long as 152.92.133.1 is
your gateway's ip address. Can you ping the gateway? If so, you
in good shape.
The next part is the DNS configuration. Check the contents of
the file /etc/resolv.conf, this should look similar to:
domain some.domain.com # this is optional
search some.domain.com # this should be you local domain
search some.other.domain # this is only needed for any other
# local domains on your network
nameserver 152.92.133.1 # the IP should be you local DNS server
nameserver 152.92.133.2 # if you have more than 1 DNS server
good luck,
jc
