[CentOS] Forgetting network settings

So you're saying that your default gateway is an IP address that's part of a *different* network/subnet?

I don't know how this network has been designed, but typically I would expect that your default gateway would be something like

188.72.255.1

rather than 217.20.117.1 that you've mentioned earlier.

Take a look at mine for example:

[~]ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FD:6D:4A:C1:69
           inet addr:109.xx.xxx.105  Bcast:109.74.193.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::fcfd:6dff:fe4a:c169/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:78742 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:67114 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:35442733 (33.8 MiB)  TX bytes:12607832 (12.0 MiB)

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
           RX packets:8292 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:8292 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:1195297 (1.1 MiB)  TX bytes:1195297 (1.1 MiB)

[~]netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
109.xx.xxx.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         109.xx.xxx.1    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

So you can see my host has .105 assigned to eth0, and the default gateway is .1 of the same network/subnet.

You might want to check that your addressing is correct.
