Hi, Once i tried to change default routing metric(yes, i changed it to none automatic metric set from UI) it is changed to random(i guess) or neighbor metric number. Current Set : 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.105 2 C:\>ROUTE CHANGE 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 METRIC 3 IF 28 Changed Set : 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.105 4 it always not to set what i wanted number. any ideas? thanks in advance.

Untick "Automatic metric" in "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" in NIC IPv4 Properties. Regards Milos

Yes, I unchecked the Automatic metric. but metric values always not to set what i wanted value. if i set to 3, it shows 4 or 5 something like that. XP look okay but 7.

Hi, Based on my research and test, the metric you obtain is the metric you specialize plus the metric of a Connection. In other words, based on my understanding, the metric of a link speed has been added in counts and this is the difference between of Windows XP and Windows 7. If we have more than one connections, for example, one is 100Mbps and the other is 1000Mbps, system can easily consider the 1000Mbps connection as the better to forward traffic due to the metric of 1000Mbps is 10 and the metric of 100Mbps is 20 by default. Of course, we can manually set this via uncheck Automatic metric and specialize a metric of the connection instead or via command line, for example: netsh interface ipv4 set interface "Local Area Connection" metric=6. If we want to manually set metric of an interface via command line, the final metric should be the metric your specialize plus the metric of the connection. For more information about default metric of a connection, please refer to An explanation of the Automatic Metric feature for Internet Protocol routes. Hope this helps.
