Help?! It's Monday!!! Route command screwy?

What's wrong with the following picture?

lg1nfs0 root /home/tgfurnis # netstat -arn
Routing tables
Dest/Netmask Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 3644 lo0 4136
192.168.50.2 192.168.50.2 UH 0 41406 lan0 4136
192.168.50.0 192.168.50.2 U 2 0 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 0 lo0 4136
lg1nfs0 root /home/tgfurnis # route add default 192.168.50.1
add net default: gateway 192.168.50.1: Network is unreachable
lg1nfs0 root /home/tgfurnis # ping 192.168.50.1
PING 192.168.50.1: 64 byte packets
64 bytes from 192.168.50.1: icmp_seq=0. time=2. ms
???
----192.168.50.1 PING Statistics----
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 2/2/2

In other words, there's a route to 192.168.50.0 through the lan0 interface on 192.168.50.2. In fact that works - I am connected to the system from 192.168.50.1. But the system has no default route and I can't seem to add one - it should be defaulting out to 192.168.50.1, but if I attempt to add a default route there, I get "192.168.50.1 network unreachable". That's obviously not true, since I'm connected from there. Am I doing something wrong?

And if not, any suggestions on a workaround? I'm not sure yet how or why the system lost its default route, would like to avoid rebooting or completely restarting networking until next weekend if possible, but I need to get stuff routed through 192.168.50.1...

D'oh! Forgot the extra "1" on the end of the route command. No longer an issue. :-(
