That may allow the route command to then work, as it'll believe that you're local to the router. (Not tested, although I recall doing something similar before.) Alternately, using arp to assign a *fake* IP address which is on your subnet to the ethernet address of the router, then add a default route to that. Maybe the router will still pass the packets.
