did you by chance upgrade from a 2.0.x kernel?  If so you need to know
that the networking code in the 2.2.x kernels has changed.  You do not
need to explicitly use the route command - the kernel will do this for
you.  Call to route and friends usually result in the errormessage
you mentioned.   Check /etc/init.d/network and comment out the route
commands, this should do the trick.  I am not sure if you need the
gateway setting in this file either. 

Have fun.

So long -- Stephan
