Setting up a proper route

[40esp]

I keep having problems setting up a proper route.

For example:

I have an IP addr. (static) on my server set to: 192.168.254.32
netmask is 255.255.255.0
gateway is 192.168.254.1
interface: eth2

How would I create a proper "route" from this information?

interface: eth2
for the destination im putting: 192.168.254.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
and netmask: 255.255.255.0

But i know it is the wrong way to set up routes.


Thanks
