route lookup based on default route

hello group!
on a remote BGP peer B, i issued the command "neighbor x.x.x.x
default-originate" to send a default route to this peer A (output below).
now, on A, i do see the default route in the routing table, but yet i can't
lookup an unknown route using that default route. i made sure that the ip
classless command was enabled (which it is by default on this IOS). what
could be wrong?
