RE: Multpile Default Gateways

I am also having this problem after recently applying Windows Update critical
fixes to a Window 2000 Professional machine.
I have two adapters (Token Ring is disabled and unplugged for a long time -
yr.) only the Ehternet is active. I have a static ip address and started
have problems connecting to internet webpages (outside of the intranet). I
checked the TCPIP configuration and I got the message:
"WARNING - multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundnacy to a
single network ( such as an intranet or Internet). Theywill not function
properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint networks (such as
one on your intranet and one on the internet). Do you want to save this
configuration?"
I am confused, I have only ever had 1 gateway configured. I have gotten a
lot of suggestions, like turn off your firewall, switch to DHCP (but I have
server-sw that need a static ip, not DHCP - after switching to DHCP and back
to static I am now worse off than I was before). I did the IPCONFIG -all as
well and there is only one gateway listed.
In another post (in XP) the command 'netsh winsock reset catalog' was
suggested but that does not work on 2000 Pro.
I have downloaded the suggested .EXE and will run the command, but I was
wondering if that is necessary - is there a resolution to this problem yet?

Thanks for your help - Joel
