I'm a little confused about your setup. Normally, workstations and servers
are configured with a default gateway be it via static or dynamic IP
assignment. The default gateway should be an address on that particular
machines subnet.
If you are having problems, check that you have the correct IP, Subnet Mask
and Def Gateway on the machine, then you need to check the router.

Subject: A little off tocic sorry.
I have a question that is making me go mad.
Well we have a wan set up a while back and I needed to use the route add
command to get the other computers to connect to our computer here. Well
the computer restarted a couple times and each time I would have to use
the route add command to get the computers to connect because the route
add must get deleated when restarted. Well this was a pain and took me a
while to figure out the first time. Well I talked to another networking
buddy and he told me I was doing it wrong and should just add to the
default gateway. Well I did this and it worked. He also said all
computers should have this default gateway. So I started adding it to all
the computers a couple days after. The next morning when I got in I could
not sign on with out giving my W2K a static IP address. Actually this
happend with all W2K machines and not realizing it untill a day later a
windows 95 machine. Then today two windows 98 machines had to have this
done. Now I must have twenty five other computers that are not asking for
this. But I want to get this fixed so I don't have to use static IP
addresses. I have since taken the default gateway out of all the servers
but no luck. Any Ideas on this? Can anyone point me in the right
direction.
Thanks,
Brett
