IP Address is in a different subnet as the gateway address

I am trying a NetGear wireless router at my home. My cable guy has
given the IP address, Subnetmask and gateway as follows:

IP Address: 160.242.152.191
Subnetmask: 255.255.240.0
Gateway: 160.242.128.1

When I give the above settings in my PC for connecting with the modem,
I am successfully able to connect to the Internet, but when I gave the
same in the wireless router settings, i am getting the following
error:

IP Address 160.242.152.191 is in a different subnet as the gateway
address 160.242.128.1

Is there anyway i can resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot for your response.

When a mask of 255.255.240.0 is applied to 160.242.152.191, it yields
the following:

Network ID: 160.242.144.0
Host Range: 160.242.144.1 - 160.242.159.254
Network Broadcast: 160.242.159.255

The gateway address you have been given (160.242.128.1) is outside the
assignable range (160.242.144.1 - 160.242.159.254) for this network ID
(160.242.144.0).

Your router is correct in its assessment.

Although the default gateway is likely to be "160.242.144.1", it is best
NOT to assume so. You should seek confirmation from your ISP on the
correct default gateway IP address.

You can't give the same IP addresses to two different computers but I assume
you know that.

If you are using a router you should be using Network Address Translation
(NAT).
With this method your PC's will have addresses like 192.168.1.xxx. These
addresses are assigned
by the DCHP server in the router.

If you want to see your gateway address use 'ipconfig /all' at the windows
command prompt.
This will be a NAT address if you are using a router or something like your
addresses below
if you are not using the router.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_router

Good Luck, Ed
