I want to clarify something about setting up routes in Windows XP:
If there's a general subnet route:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2
(which I understand to mean that anything on subnet 192.168.2.0 goes to
192.168.2.1
And, in addition, one needs a specific route within that subnet that's
different, then it appears that:
192.168.2.33 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.17
doesn't work.
But
192.168.2.33 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.17
does work.
Why?
However.... the entry for the last one appears in the routing table after
the more general one. So, it wouldn't be reached it appears. ???
Thanks,
Fred
