There are several ways, actually.

System-config-network is one way, or if like me you prefer to edit the config
files by hand you can edit the files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
or the file /etc/sysconfig/network. There needs to be a GATEWAY= line in one of
those files. If you have an existing GATEWAY line modify it to taste. If you
have no default gateway I would suggest putting it in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth?.
Where the ? corresponds to the interface that points to the gateway.

Hope this helps.
