Actually, I think it's "route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1"...take
a look at netstat -rn (to see what routes are set) and do a "route -?"
to see what the route syntax is (for example, you may not need the "mask
0.0.0.0" when setting the default route, I don't know for sure).

FWIW, I don't know if that will stay on a reboot so you may need to
setup that command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it's replaced each time.

My apologies, I meant to say static ip address with the GUI, not static
routes.

Well, there's a command called netsh that can apparently do this but it
requires a service called remoteaccess to be running which doesn't
appear to exist on Windows desktop O.S.'s.  That being said, it's the
GUI or nothing.
