You should also send your output of route -n
Here is the output on my computer.

petdr@laptop:~$ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.0.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         10.0.0.1        0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0

Make sure you get a line something like
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1

note the Iface is eth1
