Hi Marty,

  Using Route to add Multiple Gateways, in command
console are you supplying an machine IP address and
gateway Ip address each time you enter a new route as so:

C:\>route add 10.0.0.75 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.1

C:\>route add 10.0.0.75 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.2

So in this example I have the machine IP address set for
10.0.0.75 with two default gateways. Is this correct in
setting up Multiple gateways? and the metric I am
gathering if used gives like a more priority of one
gateway over another,correct?

Thanks,

Pete
