Please bottom-post.

1) It would have to be "ip r add 0.0.0.0/0 via ip_add_of_eth0 dev eth0".

2) IIRC you've used VB's bridged network mode. Again IIRC because I haven't
used VB in a while, that means that if your host has, eg, a 192.168.1.x
address, your VM'll have a 192.168.1.y address. So the gateway has to be
the same as the host's and not the host's ip address.
