This is obvious not working, as you see the ip-address is the same as 
the broadcast-address.

In this net (65.101.207.160/29) the following adresses are useable:

65.101.207.160 Network	(not useable)
65.101.207.161 Useable 
65.101.207.162 Useable
65.101.207.163 Useable
65.101.207.164 Useable
65.101.207.165 Useable
65.101.207.166 Useable
65.101.207.167 Broadcast (not useable)

As you see you are trying to use 7 ipaddresses in a 255.255.255.248 subnet 
(29 bit) where only 6 is available, but if your raq4 is not your gateway, 
only 5 are useable.


By the way, this is also wrong: (you are using networkaddress as real 
address)

eth0:11   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:E0:04:C8:F1 
         inet addr:65.101.207.168  Bcast:65.101.207.175  Mask:255.255.255.248
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
         Interrupt:11 Base address:0x6100
