Hi All.
Firstly, sorry if these are the wrong groups.....

I am trying to configure a Loopback adapter to allow propepr ip connectivity
to a Foundry Loadbalancer. As part of the documetnation it tells you to
give it an IP then remove the public route using the route delete comand.

Unfortunalely this dows not seem to work on my Windows 2003 servers.

Here is everythign i have tried, alond with the full routing table etc...
Note: I am familiar with routign, its implications etc....

Any pointers as to what i am doign wrong would be massively appreciated. I
really hope you are not going to tell me that on Win2003 you cannot delete a
route to a statically connected lan.

The right syntax is "route delete 195.40.70.0". It does work under Win 2003
Server.

I had this same problem. I figured out that my problem was I did not
specify the interface. If you are trying to delete a round on an
interface other than #1 then you have to specify. Here is what you
probably need to use...


route delete 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 metric 1 if 1

Ahh, I take my last post back ;-) I had to add the route and delete
it. That must be a bug in 2003
