Firstly this address is not a valid host address it is a network 
address. as shown by the routing entry below.  Secondly your default 
gateway must be on your local network segment to work however 
195.249.0/16 is behind the router 131.164.191.1.

195.249.0/16       131.164.191.1      UG1         1       12  vlan7

Perhaps your default gateway should be 131.164.191.1 ??
