Apologies for slow responce .I had to go to my day job today.
I tried the value that worked for you and I got "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.
192.168.0.101 is the IP of the machine on our 10Mb/s wired ethernet Lan
that
handles our internet connection via proxy software.
I have just removed the persistant link and then done route print
rp1-4-2007.txt to get a text file of the output of route print.

I have recreated your problem and it works on my computer. All I had
to
do
was
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.17.104.1
the -p just makes it stay after reboot. Default gateway changed from
192.168.0.1 to 172.17.104.1 and I could get back online again.
yes it is there under persistant routes
the ip address i used is also under default gateway.
apologies for slow responce - i looked at the article you posted the
link
for and the instructions caused the ling between laptop and desktop
to
establish but not exchange data.
:
when you run "route print" it should show you the persistent route
you
added. Is it there?
message
I tried it without brackets.
I can now from my desktop browse the household wired lan while
the
laptop
is
connected to the desktop via wifi. The desktop still can't
access
the
household shared internet connection though while the wifi usb
dongle
is
connected though.
I have the [# hops] at 1 is this correct?
the internet goes:
xp home desktop > hub > win98 "proxy box" > adsl modem
:
My Bad I forgot to mention to leave out the brackets.
message
Start>run>cmd to get command prompt
then I typed in
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [192.168.0.101] metric [1]
The reply was
route: bad gateway address [192.168.0.101]
:
run this on command prompt:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [LAN gateway IP] metric [#
hops]
of course replace the brackets with correct data. Simply run
route
on
command prompt to get a hint of how it works.

You are right on our lan being a 10Mbps variety.
As soon as I disconnected the link and unplugged the wifi
usb
dongle,
Ie
could load a page. How do I manually force the route
(dummies
guide
please)
:
The routing information is setup so that it will take the
shortest
path.
So
if your wifi connection runs faster than your Lan then
your
computer
will
start using the wifi connection as a gateway. I'm guessing
your
lan
is
10
Mbps while your wifi is 54 Mbps. This will help:

I have a new laptop running x home. I have a desktop
running
xp
home
that
is
on the household peer-peer wired lan.
When I establish a wifi (802.11b/g) link between the
desktop
and
laptop
I
can brows the desktop shared folders from the laptop.
But
at
the
same
time
my desktop can't acess the household shared internet
connection
or
lan
(which
is proxy plus running on a win98 box). When I drop the
wireless
connection
my xp desktop can access the internet connection and lan
again.
Why is this?
The laptop is also set up to use a ethernet cable as
well.
Also while I can access files/subfolders within a
predefined
"bluetooth"
folder on my desktop from my laptop, I can't use
bluetooth
to
access
internet
from the laptop. bluetooth does not affect network
connections
on
the
desktop
