cannot add static route

[linuxbreaker]

Hi

I thought I'd post this on here for a laugh. (just being facetious; due to bitterness regarding limited support on bt's stuff)

Anyway I am trying to add static routes to BTHub5.

I am getting a message saying the route already exists, which it doesn't or I'd see it displayed in the table.

I previously didn't have issues adding static routes and have since then changed the ip address of the router (back to its default) and am wondering if it is somehow remembering a route, although not actually displaying it?

I am just wondering if there is a way of refershing the routing table; or if anyone knows why this may happen or it has happened to them could they share their experience of it.

Thanks

Hi there @linuxbreaker 

You could try seeing if there is a static route set but hidden by using the ARP command,  you can find full information on how to do this in a linux distro here for windows that's "arp -a" in the command prompt.

This should show you all the static routes that have been picked up.

Either way the only way i know of to clear the static routes would be to factory reset the router, 

Hope this helps.
