goto www.sysinternals.com look under security. They have some utilities that can show you access levels and file permissions and other stuff, in a more concise format than MS tools.

how about a tie breaker with netstat -r. That does sound strange, maybe a bug. Could there be some patches missing? Im guessing disabling and reenabling the interface will fix the problem, but I don't think I've seen anything like that since windows 98.
