You can examine the routing table by:

    % netstat -r

There will be quite a lot of output, especially if you have IPv6
enabled, but the line you want will be pretty clear.  See netstat(1)
for a bunch of other options.

To set the default route do:

    # route add net default 10.0.0.10

	Cheers,
