Tillmann is right. Real Men Route by Hand. Real Women do it too, google
for "ladyada routing Eagle" and you will find a great video where you
can learn a lot, just by watching.

That's silly, of course. Do you refine your own silicon too? Do you write
all your PC programs by hand in machine language?
The autorouter is tool, which has its advantages and disadvantages like any
other. If you spend a little time with it to learn what it can and can't
do, and how to control it properly, you'll find it a useful tool that can
save hours of pointless manual work.
In this case as I understand it, the OP wants to create a single sided
board with wire jumpers as needed. Yes, this can be done with the auto
router. Set it up for a two layer board and make the bottom layer cost
really high. Set up the via parameters so that they become nice pads for
the wire jumpers. This will cause the autorouter to try to minimize the
number of jumpers and their length.
However keep in mind that the autorouter is just a tool. It won't solve
all the problems for you, but if used properly can do a lot of the rote
work for you. You will likely want to route some important traces manually
before auto routing, then do some cleanup afterwards. The combination can
still take considerably less time than doing it all by hand.
