Gateway address drops on one of the servers

This problem has been going on for a while now and is a big problem
because it prevents people from the outside from connecting to our FTP.
The Gateway address that is manually set disappears randomly. I can't
seem to see any reason this is happening. I have fixed a few event log
errors but that didn't make a difference. We have all the llatest
Windows Server 2003 updates. If anyone has anything I could try it
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is not a fix to the underlying problem, but you could shedule a task to
add the default route at intervals. This will get you going again until you
have time to identify the root cause. put the following in a batch file and
schedule.

route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 [ip of gw] IF [number of IF]

to find if number use:

route print

it should list the number of the interface for you. Or you could leave it
out because the default route should be on the same subnet as one of the
connected interfaces.
