OK, you have a connection to the router.

No default route.  You need to do:
--------------------------------
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
--------------------------------
Then execute:  route

It probably should look something like this:
---------------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/bin/busybox
hostname `cat /etc/HOSTNAME | cut -f1 -d .`

ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.13
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
---------------------------------------------

Don't worry, you are almost there.  Pinging the
router is the most difficult part.
