Vista - Strange problem: Route corrupted or may be something else

Hello all,

I dont know which group is suitable for asking this question.

I am using Vista.

I have two NICs one of which is assigned IP using DHCP (something like
157.x.x.x and subnet mask 255.255.255.128) while the other is manually
configured to a static IP address of 192.168.0.8 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0.

Problem is that somehow the route is corruputed and now a ping for
destination 192.168.0.x (e.g. 192.168.0.2) is going to the interface having
IP 157.x.x.x and not to the right one.

I have tried assigning some other IP address range (like 192.168.100.x) to
the NIC (having statically configured IP address).

Even I have tried reseting IPv4 via netsh. I have also tried reseting all
interfaces. Even I have tried uninstalling the NIC (having IP 192.168.0.8)
and reinstalling it again but no use.

What can I do now beside reinstalling windows and reinstalling the NIC
(having IP 157.x.x.x) as I really dont want to do these steps.

The problem arises when I delete all the IPv6 addresses (usually I was
getting one) associated with the NIC (having manually configured IP address)
using netsh.

Any idea how can I correct this problem.

Thanks,

Arsalan

Arsalan,

Tried netsh routing ip reset?

Every ipv4 address has a corresponding ipv6 address (because the entire ipv4
address space is mapped into ipv6); you cannot remove the ipv6 address
without removing the ipv4 address and the associated route.

If you are talking about netsh interface ip reset then I have already tried
it but there is no such thing as netsh routing ip reset.

Thanks,

Correct, Vista doesn't use this command. You may try netsh interface reset all.
