route add a print server

[charel]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a route to a print server which is configured on a different subnet. It's IP is 172.19.26.19 and i'm trying to add it to 172.19.221.107. When i type
route add 172.19.26.19 mask 255.255.255.0 172.19.221.107 i get the error:
The route addition faild: The specified mask parameter is invalid (Destination & Mask) != Destination

route add 172.19.26.19 mask 255.255.255.0 172.19.221.107 is invalid because you are adding a machine as a network. route add 172.19.26.19 mask 255.255.255.255 172.19.221.107 to add the single machine or route add 172.19.26.0 mask 255.255.255.0 172.19.221.107

RE:Last post - forgot to add at the end - "to add 172.19.26.0 network" In other words, that second option will add a route to the 172.19.26.0 network.
