determining gateway

[White, Matt]

I'm pretty sure that the .0 IP is the network address in this
case--especially seeing it being followed by the netmask.

If you have a static IP and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, it is
pretty likely that the gateway starts with .1 with the first 3 octets
being the same.  For example, if my IP is 192.168.1.23, there's a good
chance that the gateway is 192.168.1.1.
