Change IP's and now server won't connect

Hi guys,

My service provider make me change the IP’s for a new set.

I change the IP’s in /network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

IPADRESS : THE MAIN IP FOR VOIP
NETMASK : 255.255.255.252
BROADCAST : THE GATEWAY FOR MY VOIP IP
NETWORK : THE DNS SUPPLIED

ALSO CHANGE IN /ETC/SYSCONFIG/NETWORK

GATEWAY : THE ONE THEY GAVE ME

the thing is the now my box won’t see the internet and when I do a netstat -r
where it says gateway appears an asterisk.

what step did I miss? what else need to be done?

thanks

Is this the same format the old IP schema was in? I have also seen different formats ie:
IPADDR=192.168.0.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

also, I’m assuming you have restarted the machine, or atleast ran ‘service network restart’

What flavor of Linux are you using?
