RE: Dynamic Entries in IP Routing Table

Until you put the firewall on another subnet, it's going to happen. When two devices are on the same subnet, they are not going to talk through a router. That's a 'feature', not a bug; it's just the way things work.

Move the firewall to another subnet, and the problem will go away.

Subject: Dynamic Entries in IP Routing Table

Does anyone know how to stop the addition of dynamic routes on Win2000 Machines?

...we have a firewall and a router on our local network, both one hop away from the PCs. The router is the default gateway, but PCs still create route entries to the Firewall.

Thanks,
