Well to start with you failed to mention what distribution you are using, what your network setup is like and you've begun with a malformed route statement.
Are you trying to change from a Dynamic IP to a Static IP? To quote 'man route';
Route manipulates the kernel's IP routing tables. Its primary use is to set up static routes to specific hosts or networks via an interface
after it has been configured with the ifconfig(8) program.
When the add or del options are used, route modifies the routing tables. Without these options, route displays the current contents of the
routing tables.
