Windows XP/Vista - Configuring a Static Route

There are occasions where we may need to have a static route configured on a Windows desktop operating system.

With a server, it is no big deal as we configure it in RRAS.

But, with the desktop operating system, we need to work at the command line with the route command.

• Windows XP: Route Command.
• Windows Vista: Configuring Multiple Gateways.

Note that on Windows Vista for IPv6 one needs to use the netsh command to set the routes.
