Comments on: Using Windows 7 with Multiple Gateways (Routers) and DHCP http://blog.palehorse.net/2009/08/24/using-windows-7-with-multiple-gateways-and-dhcp/ Thoughts from a mind twisted by tech and sports Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:01:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: palehorse http://blog.palehorse.net/2009/08/24/using-windows-7-with-multiple-gateways-and-dhcp/#comment-3577 palehorse Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:15:38 +0000 http://palehorse.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/using-windows-7-with-multiple-gateways-and-dhcp/#comment-3577 Some sort of warning about the multiple gateways would be nice. Maybe the MS gang thought that people should have already been using the default metric or something so they didn't bother, hard to say.

I'd pretty much figured this out (in a vague sort of way) before I found your post, but you confirmed my suspicions and gave me a real explanation. Seems to me if MS is going to change things in such a fundamental way they should at least flash up a dialog on a new install mentioning the fact when Win7 first discovers multiple routes from the DHCP server. I described my little adventure here: http://www.techbog.com/node/5 This is a new site we are trying to get off the ground to track just this sort of thing. It's rather plain and empty for now, but hopefully that will change over time. /// DrFoo Thanks!
