Re: need help with route command

IP routing is concerned with IP addresses. A route command specifies
what traffic is routed depending on its address. It cannot decide where to
send traffic based on the type of data which is being sent.

If you are using the Microsoft VPN client, the default behavior is to
send all traffic over the VPN. If you clear the "use default gateway.." box
in the advanced TCP/IP properties, this changes. The existing default
gateway stays active (ie to the ISP) and only traffic for the RRAS server's
subnet is sent across the link. See KB 254231 .
