I have a few machines that when they connected to the LAN, the route tables get configured, and it screws up the route table so the machines cannot get out to the internet. A route gets added (0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 GW 172.16.1.18 metric 1000) which points to a Frame Relay router between two offices. The correct setting is 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 GW 172.16.1.10, which points to a FreeSCO router for IP Masquerading, which then goes to a Cisco 675 for DSL. Netware 5 server used as logon authentication and print server. NT servers for apps. Win 95/98 as clients.
I can edit the route tables, deleting the 172.16.1.18 route and leaving the 172.16.1.10, and the machine gets out to the Internet just fine, but as soon as I reboot, the route tables get edited back. The only system policies I see are from the NetWare server and I have checked these, nothing that I can see about changing route tables. I see no import scripts on the NT servers. This only affects a few machines.
I have tried switching NIC cards, host names, IP addresses (static and DHCP), logon names, reinstalling TCP/IP?
I cannot figure out why or how the changes are being made and by whom? Any ideas are welcome and appreciated.
