Otherwise, "route add default <IP>" should do it. It is my understanding that the default route should not be the cable modem though, since it is supposed to act like a bridge. AT least this is how it works for me, except that the cable modem has a 192.168.100.* address as well as a 10/8, but I don't have either as a default route.
