SORRY, I never read your orginal message correctly.

However, I would recommend having a script to perform this operation
automatically after connecting to the internet.

Yes, if it is configured to do so ("Use Default Gateway on Remote Network"
in properties.) and in this case this is desirable.

A default gateway is only used when no other route can be found. In this
instance we are adding a static route so that Win2k will find a route for
games traffic (and thus not use the default gateway of the dial up
connection).

Thus (when the modem is connected)

Games Traffic -> 192.168.1.7 -> Nokia -> Games server.
All other Traffic-> Dial up connection (via default gateway).

I'm guessing here but see no reason why this wont work (and I am assuming
that only one system is connected to the Nokia).

Give your system a static IP address on the NIC that is connected to the
Nokia e.g.

        IP = 192.168.1.7
        Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254
        DNS = (DNS of your "Games" ISP, you can get this
from the Nokia Logs)

Test that every thing is still working.

Look at the syntax to the ROUTE command (Under Win NT this was a DOS
command, I haven't looked at Win2k).
You must add a static route for your games server IP/Subnet address such
that all traffic for that IP address goes via the NIC/Nokia.

Your dial up connection is already configured as required (as you are
complaining that all traffic is via this when connected).

The only issue you may have is that DNS lookups for "Games" names will
probably go via dialup but thats very little traffic.
