Fix likely problems first: you are setting up nameservice and then trying to use it over a (possibly) incompletely configured link. Change the "route add" to something like route add default 129.38.252.50 (or correct IP of needed gateway...) and you can use netstat -r -n to peek at things before the nameserver is available over the network link.... If this still breaks, you're in a better position to determine what's what. ...
