First thing I would do for simplicity sake is to start XWindows (startx if it is not there when the system starts up) and execute 'netcfg', then add the default gateway there.

If no XWindows, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and putin this line
GATEWAY 192.168.0.x

Even without X, from the console, call netconf and search for default route and type in your ip address. Or, in /etc/rc.d/init.d add in the file rc.local, at the end:
/sbin/route add default gw your_ip dev eth0
