How would I do this?
If you're using Linux, something fairly similar to "route add -net 172.19.50.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 172.19.50.2". Under Windows, I'm not so sure; I haven't played with it.
On Windows 2000 ( same for NT IIRC ) if you go into the Networking GUI: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network and Dial-up Connections | Local Area Connections | Internet Protocol ( TCP/IP ) | Properties there's nowhere to add specific routes. Hmm, not very impressed. There is a command line version of ROUTE, best to look at that. ( I'm offline at the time of writing so I can't play ). Always a good idea to do: c:\temp> route 2> route.txt c:\temp> more route.txt So you can look at the command help without having to scroll up and down the DOS window. I.E. not the -p ( persistent across reboots ) flag. ( no, I didn't know dos had a notion of standard out either until I tried it ) <snip>
Thanks again
No problem :) It's what I'm (usually lurking) on this list for.
