You should have your gateway in your network startup file (/etc/init.d/network ?). Now you have only GATEWAY="" and it does not look right.
After running the modified network startup script the route command should output something like this: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 193.96.166.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 lo 0.0.0.0 193.96.166.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 1 eth0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ GATEWAY in the network startup file Otherwise the ifconfig and route output look ok.
