You can set the default gateway temporarily, (for current session
only), with command:
# route add default gw [gateway.ip#.here]
i.e. (example):
# route add default gw 10.1.0.1
If you want to use that gateway permanently put following line
GATEWAY=10.1.0.1
 in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
or
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
or.... well, you get the idea.. right?
