Yes.  Tell the machine the truth about the network it's on -- specify an
appropriate netmask for the actual circumstances.

If you tell it /24, that means that 207.66.106.1 is on the local
network.  In your case, it would seem that /26 would be a better choice
(though you might be able to use (e.g.) /27 or /28, if you subnet your /26).

Cheers,
david
