I had the same problem.  Starting the router daemon should work but doesn't
seem to.  If you have the mask and broadcast addresses set correctly it should
maintain the router tables for you.  Instead of start-inet RIP, just do
start-inet or start-inet servers and then do a
route add default "name of your gateway" 1
If you have access to another machine on your network you can find the name
of the gateway by doing a netstat -r command.  If you need more than one
gateway, you will need to replace "default" with the appropriate value.
