That's not the IP address you're supposed to use, that's the subnet they've allocated you. See: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/subnet.php 104.217.196.248 is the network address, you can't assign that to an actual host. The usable IP addresses in that subnet are 104.217.196.249-104.217.196.254, 104.217.196.249 is your gateway, so that leaves you 104.217.196.250-104.217.196.254 to assign to your systems. 104.217.196.255 is the broadcast address for the subnet. Update your hostname.em0 to use 104.217.196.250 and make sure your /etc/mygate file contains 104.217.196.249.
