How can I change the default route from the command line in Win2K.

I can add a new route with

route add 10.10.24.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.10.100.0

But I can't figure out how to change the default.

Thanks in advance,
Kev.

Try the following:
c:> route delete 10.10.24.0 MASK .....
to delete those route that you have created. However, the route add command only applies when your system is on. Why don;t you try to create a bat file and dump it on the startup so that you can defined the route that you want to run.

Tks..

Your suggestion will allow me to change a normal route, but not the DEFAULT. Changing the DEFAULT route is what I need to accomplish.

Default routes are always specified as 0.0.0.0 with a mask of 0.0.0.0

use

route -p ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x

Make sure that you don't have one listed in the GUI. The -p makes it persistant across reboots. x.x.x.x is the router IP.

Thank you.

That's what I was after.

Some testing indicates to me that I can actually have on assigned by the GUI, and I can delete it, and replace it. Which is exactly what I was after.
