SYMPTOMS

If you specify more than one gateway in the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, gateway addresses other than the default gateway address may not be used if the default gateway is not available.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack included with Windows 95 only uses the default gateway.

RESOLUTION
