I am confused with this, as I thought you had a good
hint, but I just found:
========================================
#Inetcfg: CURRENT DEFAULT MINIMUM MAXIMUM
keepalive 7800 7800 0 7800 KeepAlive (sec)
multidefrt 1 1 0 1 Multiple Default Routes ON/OFF
========================================
and I don't have a full route table problem anymore,
but I know I used to.
I have unsuccessfully searched everything looking
for a configuration change. All I found was an old
setup.cmd with "inetcfg -s keepalive 180" added.
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
SOCKETS.SYS: 6.1002
AFOS2.SYS: 6.1000
AFINET.SYS: 6.1001
Also, I found this:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....348360d8f7abcf
which is relevant, but I still don't know what
corrected the problem on my systems, unless a new stack
fixed it.
