  Step 1:  edit /etc/hosts to add a line like this (substitute your router's
address):

192.0.1.1    router    #Linksys

Then set up the init script - you're running a RH-based distro, so you'll
want to edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/network to include

    route add default router

at the end.  Or create a separate script and link it into the rc#.d
directories as S11routing or somesuch.

Issue that same command from the shell prompt.
