Routing Issue w/ LAN and PPP 10.* networks - Please help asap

spmngsedi
Level 1
Level 1

Hoping someone can help me point my network support in the right direction.  We have a Cisco router that users are making a PPP connection to (not getting a default gateway from us) via windows.  Here is a shot of the route tables before and after.  After connecting they are getting a 10.0.0.0 route added with the ip we are assigning as the gateway.  User seems to think we are passing that route to them from dhcp and network is thinking windows is creating it.

Here is the routing table before connecting…

The highlighted route is the one that is causing us trouble.  If we take the for instance of a system with the IP of 10.0.6.6, it can only use the 0.0.0.0 or 10.0.0.0 route.  Because the netmask is longer on the 10.0.0.0 route, Windows thinks that it is the better option and sends the packets to the 10.185.0.31 gateway instead of the 10.0.8.1 gateway that it should have gone to. 

How can we remove this without making the user add persistent routes, etc.

Hello Shaun,

may  you post the Cisco router configuration?

remove all sensitive information like username/pwds and mask public IP addresses

you may want to consider to post this under the Remote Access forum that should be the right place for this kind of issues.

Hope to help

Giuseppe
