Hi,

I want to edit the following route so that the metric would be 1 instead of
20. What's the command to do that?

Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface
Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.4.1
192.168.4.68 20

TIA,

Tom

Routing order

If you have two NICs in the same subnet on one w2k/xp computer, you wonder which NIC is been used as primary NIC to access the Internet. In most cases, when adding the second NIC on a w2k/xp computer, the first one is the primary NIC. You may change the order by going to Advanced menu of the Network Connection>Advanced Settings>Adapter and Bindings. If the settings doesn't work (by default, the faster NIC will be chooses as primary NIC) or if you want to override the settings, you can assign metric # manually by going to the Properties of the Network Connection>the Properties of the Network Connection>Advanced.

Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services. Posting on MS newsgroup will benefit all readers and you may get more help.
