determining gateway

I would only caution that usually a 0 at the end of an IP address is
rather strange or odd. I have never seen that be assigned, as most
people use that as a special address for casts or whatever it may be.

Take care,
Sina

The last line of output when I type route is:
default         cdnt01-a-rtr.ve 0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth0
However I did find another line, which seems to contain the ip:
68.37.216.0     *               255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0
eth0
I believe that 68.37.216.0 is the correct ip in this case?
