To change the default route on Windows XP (and possibly Windows Vista, 2000, etc) you use the route command. The syntax is pretty simple, here is a quick example….

route change 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 172.18.12.120

To delete or add routes, simply change the keyword change to either add or delete.

route add 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.10.0.50

Find your share under Network Places, right-click and select “Map Network Drive”.

Some other tips: put a $ at the end of your share name to hide it. Upgrade to SP3 to have multiple shares with different permissions on a folder.
