Great.

It sounds like you have a network interface which has an address
configured, but your default gateway is missing?
That should be included in the static information you added to
the interfaces file. For example this is my setup at home:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
As you can see the gateway is specified upon the last line.
If you've setup your system in a similar manner it should just work.
If it doesn't please post the output of :
netstat -nr
both before and after adding the route, along with your interface
file contents.
