Windows 10: Windows 10 with two default route with same metric

Recently I faced a scenario where the routing table had two entries for default route and that too with same metric. After doing some research, I found that if we configure same adapter metric manually for WiFi and Ethernet then we will have two default route with the same metric in the routing table.


IPv4 Route Table
===========================================================================
Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.38.145.254 10.38.144.34 25
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.38.151.254 10.38.150.78 25


How to find which interface will be used to forward traffic?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Routing Table

Hi Experts,

I have a question for windows machine in general but I decided to post the question on windows 10 section.

If we refer to the below link posted by Microsoft before:

https://support.microsoft.com/nb-no/kb/299540

They mentioned the criteria used to specify the Metric value for the routes. Mainly it depends on the adapter speed. But if we look at the routing table for any PC "windows XP, 7, 8 adn 10" we can see that it has many routes with high METRIC like 286.

My question is, what is the algorithm used to automatically calculate the metric on windows machine ? Why we can see such high metric value like this.

Your help is really appreciated.

 

Network Routing Tables


Hi everyone!


I recently started using a VPN. However some websites block VPN ips so I can't visit them.
To solve this problem I would like to add the blocked website's IP to my route table.
It works fine on my other laptops but on my PC it doesn't seem to function. I ran the following command as an administrator in my cmd. Got the OK! feedback message but I still get blocked from visiting the website when on a VPN.


Code:

Code:

Route add [website IP] [Default Gateway]

At the bottom of this screenshot :






you can see that the IP is indeed added to the list but sadly it doesn't function. I have been suggested to reinstall my Windows 10 but was wondering if there aren't any other solutions to this problem.


Thanks in advance!
