Where have you specified this information?

You need to add a route for your network. Later versions of the kernel
alleviate the need for this, but in the meantime, your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 should have this information:
DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.16.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.16.0
BROADCAST=192.168.16.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
You can then restart your networking with:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
and the "route" command should produce something like:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Iface
192.168.16.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 lo
(with some information cut for clarity)

Hmm.. 4.1. Been a while since I've had one of those systems, but it
should be the same.
