I just mail to my ISP and admins will help me but only on monday. :(

Well, I just tried that, but without success.

/etc/network/interfaces
-----------------------

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 217.17.111.173
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 217.17.111.1

# ifdown eth0
# ifup eth0

$ ping 8.8.8.8

I get the following output:

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From 217.17.111.173 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

Can I do anything to setup my home network or must to wait monday for
ISP's admins?
