If that route represents your IP address (192.168.0.103) then it cannot be deleted. It is part of the standard routes.

==========================
Persistent Routes:
None
When I try to delete the route , e.g.
route delete 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.103
it always prompts the error "The route specified was not found."
I have no such problem in winme. It's only happened in win xp.
As I will have the VPN connection, after connected to VPN, all the internal network connection or internet connection can't be accessed. I will use the route command to make the active route in winme before. However it's unsuccesful in winxp. Would someone help pls?
P.S. I am using Nortel VPN Client for the vpn connection. After connected, I want to delete some routes to make the internal network working, but it seems unsuccessful.

I have tried route delete 192.168.0.0, but it prompts the same error again.
Delphineous:
I can't delete that route in winme without problem. If it can't be removed in xp, is there any method to do so. In my case, after connecting with Nortel VPN client, it will generate several routes and makes my local network connection down. I just want to change the route table, then I can access the local network during vpn connection. I can do this in winme before, but can't do it in xp.
any idea?
I think I have found the solution..

It seems the bug in winxp. Now I want to change my question, and will give the same point to the solution provider.
After connecting to the vpn, I can route add or route delete to change the route table to access my local networking. As the vpn gateway is dynamic, I need to type in the route add or route delete command manually after every login the vpn. e.g. if this time the vpn gateway is 10.0.0.1 , I need to type the command , route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 manually .If the gateway is static, I can write a batch to do so. Is there any method I can add or delete the route related to the vpn gateway automaically?
thx

route delete 192.168.0.0
You don't need to specify the mask or the gateway
