Maybe I missed it - anyway, yeah - your workstation thinks its gateway 
is 192.168.1.254 - looks like you have a wireless network (as I type 
this I see your next message which mentions this, LOL).

Good plan, waiting for No0p et al.  And, re the router, yes - see above.

What I would recommend next is to install nmap, scan your router ip (i.e 
nmap 192.168.1.254) and post the results here (unless No0p et al provide 
an alternative solution that is...).

best wishes
