Well you didn't say, but I can only guess that you changed the IP
address to a different network than the one you were on before, but
didn't change the gateway address.  If the gateway isn't on the same
subnet as the IP you're using, the route command that creates the
default route will fail (since your gateway must be on your local
network segment).  If that is the case, you'll need to find out what
your new gateway address is.

Another possibility is that you have the subnet mask set incorrectly.
But I don't believe that would prevent your default route from showing
up in the routing table; it just wouldn't work, IIRC.

Hope that helps.
