You can send packets to 129.146.210.* because your are directly connected to
that network.
Packets for anywhere else go to your router at 129.146.210.250 so you'd need
to check out the netmasks and routing tables on that router to find out what
was happening.
(I'm assuming that "/sbin/ifconfig eth0" on your machine would show an IP
address somewhere in 129.146.210.* and a netmask of 255.255.255.0).
