- Just got my PC back from HP Warranty repair and noticed I have a new Run
Command \\10.20.0.1. This may have happened prior to repair as I don't check
my Run Command list. Searching Microsoft's website led to an article titled:
"How to Use Static Routes with Routing and Remote Access Service" at this
link -

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178993

Any ideas on how this got to my PC and what it might be used for in more
layman's terms than the article describes above? I have Norton Internet
Security 2008, keep it up to date and scan regularly. I also have several
Ghost 14 backups and plan to revert to the most recent image that does not
have this command.

That's a private IP address. Probably HP connected the machine to their
internal network as part of the repair process. Nothing to be concerned
about.
