Need help adding a route - Client and gateway are not in same IP range

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I have to add a route on a Windows XP PC to a network segment.
However, the PC and the router which is being used as the gateway,
while physically on the same network, are not in the same IP address
range.
The IP address of the PC is 10.2.a.x , the IP address of the gateway
is 192.168.x.x. I am trying to add a route to a video server with IP
address 10.2.b.x.
When I use 'route add' to add the route directly, I get the error:

'The route addition failed: Rither the interface index is wrong, or
the gateway does not lie on the same network as the interface. Check
the IP address for the machine.'

How do I ago about adding the route?

Thanks for any help.
