help understanding what i have done wrong and how to debug it

Hello,
I will try to explain my problem. (disclaimer.. I am a small business owner not a network admin. But i have to be a network admin cause i am a small business owner)

This is long cause i will try to give as much detail as possible.

I have this network where i have about 16 linux boxes. each box has 2 nics. One nic is configured for a public ip and the other nic is configured for an internal GB lan

The guy that set it up for me initially divided my Class C in half. So i have two segments going into my router and they each have there own switches. we have 66.xx.xx.0 - 128 on one and 66.xx.xx.129 - 254 on the other

So here is my problem(finally)

i have 2 boxes that are having problems talking to each other.

box 1 is duffman
#cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BROADCAST=66.xxx.xxx.127
IPADDR=66.xxx.xxx.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
NETWORK=66.xxx.xxx.0
GATEWAY=66.xxx.xxx.126

#cat ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.221
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Box 2 is mrburns

#cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=66.xxx.xxx.255
IPADDR=66.xxx.xxx.242
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
NETWORK=66.xxx.xxx.128
GATEWAY=66.xxx.xxx.254

#cat ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.240
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

So on duffman i can ping 66.xxx.xxx.3(itself), but i can not ping mrburns 66.xxx.xxx.242
duffman can ping 66.xxx.xxx.126 and 66.xxx.xxx.254
duffman can also ping 192.168.0.240

mrburns can ping duffman(66.xxx.xxx.3), itself and 66.xxx.xxx.126 and 66.xxx.xxx.254
mrburns can also ping duffman(192.168.0.221)

so on duffman when i do a traceroute on 66.xxx.xxx.242 i get
# traceroute 66.xxx.xxx.242
traceroute to 66.xxx.xxx.242 (66.xxx.xxx.242), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 0.451 ms 0.342 ms 0.278 ms
2 unitnet.coleresources.com (66.xxx.xxx.126) 1.679 ms 2.151 ms 1.758 ms

what would i go to 192.168.0.1 first?

when i do a route on duffman i get::
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
66.xxx.xxx.0 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

when i do a route on mrburns i get::
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
66.xxx.xxx.128 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

Thanks for any help

duffman has no route to 66.xxx.xxx.242, hence it needs to use the default router 192.168.0.1
Please post the result of
netstat -rn
from 192.168.0.1
