The output for route -n is as follows:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
196.1.109.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U           0      0  
     0      eth0
127.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0           U           0

I dont think so route would be any problem as I am able to access
other machines.
