Network unreachable when adding default route

[S.C. Fun]

When I run
"route add default 150.150.7.25"
at a workstation, it says
"add net default: gateway 150.150.7.25: Network is unreachable".
But obviously, I could ping 150.150.7.25 from my workstation (IP=150.150.7.2 / 255.255.0.0). What do u think is the problem?

IP Config. at 150.150.7.25:
lan0: 150.150.7.25 255.255.0.0
lan1:192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

Hi,

Try

route add default 150.150.7.25 1

Hi,
If you don`t specify the count parameter route will assume that is zero, A count of zero means that the gateway is the localhost. If the route leads to a destination trough a remote gateway, count should be greater than 0.

So, try
#route add default 150.150.7.25 1
