Your broadcast address should end in .255, not .0. Make it
143.54.7.255. Also, do you have a default route installed to your
router? For example, here at Iowa State, there is a router port for
each subnet at .254, so subnet 140 would have a router as its default
route at 129.186.140.254 (yours will probably be different).
Use netstat -r to see what your default route is. And if necessary,
change it to point at your subnet's or your site's router.
