NT can be a pain in the backside when its routing table gets confused :-)
In my experience setting the metric to 254 solves 95% of issues.

I'm sorry but this doesn't really convince me. Where can I read about this? What does NT really do when you set such a high metric?

Using the registry to set the mask to 255.255.255.255 does the other 5%

This certainly is a good idea, routing wise.
