As others wrote you, you need a default gateway.
A static route for 10.0.0.0/8 network won't do you any good as your
home router is unable to communicate with the outside world.

Assuming that your 217.17.111.173/24 address on eth0 is correct, you
probably need to set up default gateway as 217.17.111.1 (and you really
should check it with your ISP, they are the only ones who know this).

So, forget this 'route' stuff, just add 'gateway 217.17.111.1' to
your /etc/network/interfaces, bounce eth0, see how it goes.

Given you're using C-class network, you have just 255 possible values
for the default gateway :)
