Thanks jhance but I had already tried with advanced button by defining two entries as 170.2.15.1 and 170.2.25.1 and where 170.2.15.1 is non existent and 170.2.15.1 is working.So if I keep 170.2.15.1 as first entry the routing works but if I keep the 170.2.25.1 as first gateway which is non existent then the system does not pick the 170.2.15.1 gw either. Is there anything else to be set.<br />

Multiple gateways in NT 4.0/win 95

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
