I took the netmask value from Windows when I was logged on to Comcast.

Next time you are on windowd, click up a Command Prompt/cmd terminal
and do a
ipconfig /all

That is where I found the netmask that I used
for my ifcfg-eth0 script. Where did you get your netmask numbers from,

dhcp server passes masks in the lease info
cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases
lease {
interface "eth1";
fixed-address 71.236.4.40;
option subnet-mask 255.255.254.0;
<snip>
option dhcp-server-identifier 68.87.66.10;
option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;
<snip>
}
.
