Relevant links for DHCP on 98/Me (a bit off topic, I know, but relevant to
the hoardes of us using Windows as an SR client):
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q220/8/74.ASP (discusses
*helpful* IP Autoconfiguration support in Win9x, and how to kill it. This
seems to work.)
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q217/0/35.ASP (how to make
98/Me release DHCP information on shutdown. Interesting reading, sounds
nice and official, but doesn't actually work :)
I ended up using hardware profiles to get around this issue. Another
appealing option is just to go back to Win95, which worked great with SR in
my experience :)

Pete,
I don't think that it's a route issue(was it?) more than
it's a DHCP issue. There was a bug (since fixed) where
the OS would not give up an address upon shutdown
or on bootup if it wasn't allowed to keep/couldn't find a
DHCP server.
I did a quick check for the Q# on MS site, but no luck.
Anyone have that?
Robert
