That would typically mean that the system can reach subnet 10.254.1.0/24 via the router 192.168.1.1... make sense?

yah..thanx a lot..but i wanted to know if there is any command to print out the routing tables from my home router?

If it's a normal SOHO router there's probably some page in the web configuration that shows it... for Cisco, issuing the "show ip route" command prints it up. It'll probably look something like this:
