Yes, I thought as much, but don't know which IP address to add as a
default gateway in my case?

The command should look like this:
# route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0
                 ????????                      ???????????

but what IP address should I add into this command?
