Networking issue
Folks,
Maybe someone on here can help - networks are not my forte We have a dedicated router for remote support for 2 specific sites of a big customer. All works great. We use a batch files to open and close gateways. Here's the commands to open the gateway

You have to run the batch file as administrator.

Fair enough, but I have administrator privilages on the domain.
|
OK, I run as administrator and that fixes the initial problem, hoever I can't access remote site from windows 7
Here is a tracert on windows 7

The 2 traceroutes are going different routes:-

Do you realise that your original batch file was adding the route
route add 10.31.103.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.16.250 and you were using tracert for 10.31.10.28 If I had to guess I'd say that you've created a route for 10.31.103.0 and so when you try to go to 10.31.10.28 it is just going to the default gateway. If you do a tracert for 10.31.103.28 you'd probably find it went via the gateway 192.168.16.250 |
OK, I know.
So how about we completely forget about line 2 of that batch file and just concentrate on line 1. If you do a tracert for 10.31.103.28 you'd probably find it went via the gateway 192.168.16.250 Originally it was only line 1 in the batch file "route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.250" Then they brought a second site into the equation and told us to add this to the batch file "route add 10.31.103.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.16.250" Worked OK with XP? Just not with Vista or Win 7 |
Update: just looked at a Unix server which has direct access to BOTH sites.
THis server in particular just has a static IP address on our network which is "192.168.16.99" It does the following "route add default 10.31.10.1" |
By using
route add 0.0.0.0 you're effectively overwriting your default gateway. Are you assigning a default gateway to your clients via DHCP or other methods? It may be that XP gave precedence to the route add 0.0.0.0 command but Vista gives precedence to the default gateway. It would help if you could provide a "route print" and an "ipconfig" from a client that is having problems contacting the remote site. |

I'm logged onto our internal network, I need to connect to the client We used to change the gateway on the TCP/IP settings, then the client's gave us batch files to use instead - 1 to turn on and 1 to turn back off again

An ipconfig before and after, and a route print after.

OK - Windows 7 client

I'd say this is your problem
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.254 192.168.16.20 20 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.254 192.168.16.32 25 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.16.250 192.168.16.20 21 You effectively have 3 default routes. The highest priority being to 192.168.16.254 Rather than use the batch file to introduce a new default gateway you'd be better just specifiying the route for the network you're interested in. Like this one which you can see in the route print 10.31.103.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.16.250 192.168.16.20 21 So just try route add 10.31.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.16.250 |
Your a genuis boy :notworthy
Site 1 works, so I can ping 10.31.10.28 now I was in the process of typing about "what shall I do for site 2" But I've figured that out now from your command so thanks. Cheers, Shaun |
No probs. Always good to get the old brain thinking now and again.

reminds me of an old MCSE exams -- and if in doubt its always the DG
