Broadcast address: 192.168.1.153
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Nameserver: 208.67.222.222

And then is gives an error saying /sbin/route: Input/output error

And after that I can't ping www.google.com; but I can ping my modem's page 192.168.1.1

When as root I do /sbin/route it gives
Code:
bash: /sbin/route: Input/output error
What can I do now?
Where did you get that broadcast address? It's wrong, makes no sense based on the IP and net mask. Try 192.168.1.255 . However, that may well not be your only problem. You seem to have a local private network (based on the IP). Why do you have to do a netcardconfig at all and not just configure by DHCP?
