Have you run '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start'?  Alternatively, is net.eth0 
in your default runlevel? (hint: try '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 status')  Are 
there any messages from the script (error or otherwise) in 
/var/log/messages?

If you actually want to set routes by hand, the command should be 'route 
add default gw 10.0.0.1' (you're missing 'gw').

HTH.
