your gateway IP on your host should be whatever your ISP tells you to
use if your PC is directly connected to the Internet, OR it should be
a NAT Firewall/Routing device's IP where the device controls your
Internet connection.

the gateway on your guest should be the same as you have set on your
host when using a bridged connection - I forget if colinux supports
any NAT capabilities itself (it's been a long time since I used it)
but if it does then you should be using DHCP configuration in your
guest.

Although if you have a NAT Firewall/Routing device then that should be
configuring your systems (real and virtualised) via DHCP and you
shouldn't be trying to configure manually as you are liable to
configure wrong or set multiple devices with conflicting addresses
where your NAT Firewall/Routing device has assigned a DHCP address
that you have also configured manually.
