RRAS May Decrement Local Static Route Metric After Calling Remote Network (160517)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service Update for Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q160517 SYMPTOMS
When you use Routing and Remote Access Service Update (RRAS) on a computer
running Windows NT Server 4.0, if you create a static route to a network
with a metric of 2 or 3, after demand-dialing and disconnecting from a
remote network, the metric may change to 1.
These route metric changes can be observed using Kernrout.exe, a utility
that ships with RRAS. "Kernrout print" displays the actual kernel route
table in use at the time it is run, and only shows the best route to each
destination.
CAUSE
RRAS incorrectly decrements the route metric for local routes upon hanging
up a demand-dial connection.
