  • Did you really use 198.X.X.X as a static IP for your MAC? If so, then that's the whole problem: the static IP you assign to pcs inside a LAN should belong to the local LAN. In most cases, if you have not tampered with network settings, they are of the type 192.168.0.X, or 192.168.1.X, which are private non-routable addresses, while all addresses of the type 198.0.0.0/8 are public routable addresses.
