The 24.x.y.z is a class A network, with 8bit netid.
A nm of 255.255.255.192 gives 6 bits for the hostid, 
and 32-8-6=18 bits for the subnet id.

ip               netid    subnetid           hostid
24.114.127.148 = 00011000 011100100111111110 010100
24.114.127.129 = 00011000 011100100111111110 000001

Well this means the hostname and gateway are on the
same subnet (and network), and the gateway looks like 
it might be correct (often gateways are the .1 entry 
of their subnet).

You've probably entered a value incorrectly
somewhere. Double check your settings.
