Given the routing table listed above, The only path to 204.244.99.65 is through your default route. If the router knows nothing about 204.244.99.65, you will won't be able to get there. > How do I make it so that the router (there are three of them I can dial > into) is not recognized as paart of the route? > If you manually change the default route, you won't be able to communicate over your ppp connection.

Try a ping to that address or even better, try a traceroute. -- George Uhl The opinions expressed here are mine and only mine, not MITRE's.
