Default (Internet) route locks up

Hi,

One customer has the following problem:

The "default route" to the internet is made through a gateway which is the adsl-router. People who work at home dial-in to the IP-Office and use this route to make the internet connection.

It occurs very often that this route "locks up". A tracert does not come further than the IP-Office...
The solution is to change the default route to something else, merge, set it back to the original setting and merge again.

The setting of this route is:
IP: 0.0.0.0 (=clear) MASK: 255.255.255.255 GATEW: IP-adress of router METRIC: 5.

At the moment the metric is 5, but I tested with everything from 1 to 5, the problem remains the same.

The IP-Office 403 is at level 1.4(25), the problem already existed in previous versions (16) and was not solved in the upgrade.


Is the IP-Office known to "blacklist" IP's or routes?

Has anyone encountererd similar problems, as this is the only site we know that has this problem...


Kind regards!






 
I would normally leave the IP address and mask fields blank which would then make the route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GW Metric which is what it should be.
