[ale] OT: Setting up routes in windows

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm dialing into a remote linux machine via PPP.  Windows XP Home
keeps setting up a default route.  I do not want a default route.  I
simply need a route to that remote network.

Here are the routes after I delete the default that was placed in 
the table.


===========================================================================
Interface List
0x1 ........................... MS TCP Loopback interface
0x10003 ...00 0b cd 89 20 a8 ...... National Semiconductor Corp. DP83815/816 10/100 MacPhyter PCI Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport
0x40004 ...00 53 45 00 00 00 ...... WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface

Default Gateway:     192.168.2.254
===========================================================================
Persistent Routes:
  None

To me this route should work but I can not see why it is failing?

C:\>route add 10.10.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.1.120 METRIC 1

The route addition failed: Either the interface index is wrong or the gateway does not lie on the same network as the interface. Check the IP Address Table for the machine.


Anyone know why?

Thanks,
Chris
