Not to mention you should type it correctly :)

route add 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x -p

should be

route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x -p

You can use the route command to specify an
interface. I was surprised to find out that the last
number of the interface name in 'ipconfig /all' output
corresponded to the interface # in network properties,
and that it doesn't match the # listed in netstat -rn which
seem to be sequential.

Question. Does specitying the interface just remove the
possibility that NT may chose an alternate path if the interface
is not specified? Or is there another reason?

Thanks,
Robert
