Here is my setup: OpenVZ host node ip 38.100.42.250 (subnet is 38.100.42.248/29) hosts 38.100.42.249, 250, 251, 253, 254 all work. I was assigned, additionally, the following: 38.105.84.192/28 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.240 Broadcast: 38.105.84.207 Usable IPs: 38.105.84.193-206 And told to use the same gateway as before. When I add a new VE with one of the ip adresses in that range, it cannot ping past 38.100.42.250.
