'route add' commande in batch file
Fred
I'm trying to add a persistent route on a computer running
win98. The only solution I found (knowledge DB) told me to
put the route add command in a batch file. The thing is I
don't know how to do it.
I tried to simply create a c:\route.bat containing the
following line and starting at each logon (scheduled
tasks):
route add 'destination' mask 'TheMask' 'gateway'
But when the file is launched, it runs as a loop and never
end. Moreover, the route is even not created :-(
Could anybody help me explaining how batch file are
running or even proposing a real solution, please???
Thanks a lot in advance.
Sincerely,
Fred.

LOL - You just happen to catch me when I'm playing around with the same
exact test. Will monitor this thread and keep you posted.

You must name the batch file other than "route" since now the batch
re-executes itself! Use "routes.bat" or "static_r.bat" or something similar.
Or, you can add the route command with disk letter and full path. Not
recommended since you still can accidentally invoke manually the batch
instead of the real command.
If you need to add he route before logging on (for example to log in to a NT
domain) consider using a Registry entry instead.

trying to execute the ROUTE command in the batch file ... it just keeps
calling itself instead of the real ROUTE command ... :-)

For now, the computer is in use so I can't try it yet.
If it doesn't work, I'll repost a message but anyway,
thanks a lot for your help (I keep my fingers crossed ;-)
and hope it will be the good thing).
Best Regards,
Fred.

Not sute I understand the overall question, but I set up a route Batch
file when I was using @home and wanted to start a dialup connection.
I know there are problems when trying to connect to some one local,
and you need a route. Is that what you are wanting? I just created a
shortcut in the Startup with the command line something like this as
one line of course.
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\START.EXE /w C:\WINDOWS\ROUTE.EXE add 24.17.43.141
mask 255.255.255.255 24.12.152.129
Here is a example of what I did in a file called router.bat. I do see
that the route command lines got word wrapped so please adjust
accordingly....
