connecting to a network using route command

Question

I have a computer with an external IP(192.168.223.220) and also an internal address (10.1.1.20) in order to connect to some servers that don't have external addresses only 10.1.1.xx . in order to connect to these servers from other machines I used the following command "route ADD 10.1.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.223.220" and than I was able to connect to the servers using there 10.1.1.xx address.

The problem is that the hard disk of main server(192.168.223.220) died and was replaced and after the that I am not able to connect to the servers as before, the route command succeeds and I can ping 10.1.1.20 but not the other servers.

Thanks

Please post the full results of the following two commands: "ipconfig /all" and "route print" and confirm what operating systems you're dealing with. — Dan, Jun 19 '12 at 07:10
Have you used Internet Connection Sharing or Network Bridge to achieve this? Windows does not route different subnets in it's Standard configuration. — MichelZ, Jun 19 '12 at 08:06
Based on the routing table in your question, I can see that your company is in serious need of someone to manage corporate networking. — Mike Pennington, Jun 19 '12 at 09:06

Try enabling Windows as Router:

In the registry:

HKLM\System\CurrentControllSet\Service\Tcpip\Parameters

Add :

IPEnableRouter

REG_DWORD Value: 1

You have no persistent routes configured on your system, which means any you created were lost on a reboot. The only ones showing are dynamically added by Windows.

Try adding your routes again but add "-p" to the end of the command.
