Some router (like mine) has a different ip (192.168.1.254)
To discover your router's ip :
$ route
or
Discover all active ip on your network using nmap:
$ nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254
NB:
Some router has a firewall that block ICMP traffic (pings)

When it says "Network is Unreachable" I assume this means he has no
route to begin with.. So he may not be able to do the above.
Otherwise it would spit out "Destination Host Unreachable" if it could
get to the network and/or 100% packet loss if the router IP was
different.
