>Have you properly set the netmask in your ifconfig lines?

I think so, here they are:

ifconfig -a:

de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
     inet 138.96.200.2 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 138.96.255.255

de1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
     inet 138.96.184.17 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 138.96.184.31

de2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
     inet 138.96.184.33 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 138.96.184.47
