Windows and multiple gateways
I'm running Win2k on the computers of other family members, and am wondering if it is possible to set up multiple gateways (3 of the computers have a modem, and I want to set it up so that the computers on the LAN will use whichever computer is dialed out as the gateway. This is easy enough to do with Linux, but how do I do this with Windows? Can/do you use the route command?
