I don't think you need to delete the first route entry, because that only
routes packets to host 0.0.0.0 to the DHCP router. The one you want to
delete is #2:
route del -network 192.168.1.0 gw 192.168.1.1
should work.
As a side note, but perhaps not part of your problem, the route for
127.0.0.0 is wrong. It should NOT point to "eth0" but the "lo"
