Shouldn't that be gateway 100.100.102.1 not 100.1 ?  (or maybe the
address should be 100.192 not 102.192)  Your gateway is not in the
default subnet.

If your gateway is outside the LAN of your eth card, then you'd have
to add a static route to get there, which is possible I suppose, but
I'm betting on a typo.
