C:\Windows\system32>route ADD 212.58.224.138/32 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.254
METRIC 5
OK!

C:\Windows\system32>tracert bbc.co.uk

Tracing route to bbc.co.uk [212.58.224.138]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms home.router [192.168.1.254]
2 11 ms 10 ms 8 ms cr1.emcentl.uk.easynet.net [195.189.159.163]
3 5 ms 4 ms 5 ms ip-87-87-168-65.easynet.co.uk [87.87.168.65]
4 15 ms 13 ms 13 ms te0-1-0-5.er11.thlon.ov.easynet.net [89.200.135.
37]
5 13 ms 13 ms 12 ms 212.58.238.189

7 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms virtual-vip.thdo.bbc.co.uk [212.58.224.138]

works well.

default route is 0.0.0.0 metric 10 via 192.168.1.1 router (VM)

C:\Windows\system32>route PRINT *

255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.124 261

so although it works it doesnt show when I list.

OK!

Make sure you add the -p command to make the route persistent otherwise it'll only last till reboot.

You may want to add a static route for VM's pop3 email service as outgoing emails can only be sent from VM IPs (you can receive mail via other gateways but not send).

ok thanks, as it stands now VM is the default connection so if I do use the VM email servers I wont need to add a route for it.
