Hi all,

Any tips and helpful guides would be greatly appreciated!!

It's confirmed, RouteSentry most definitely works on Windows 7. I am using it now

This is how i did it: (I am using two PPPoE connections within windows and NOT a RASPPPOE connection)
BEFORE you do anything: run regedit, hit F3 and type in: "wanendpoints" and only look for keys (IE: untick values and data) and TICK the match the whole string only box.
For every key you find, modify it and change the 1 with a 2. If it already has a 2 and/or you've put a 2 in already, hit F3 again until it pops up with a dialog box saying: "Finished searching through the Registry". Restart your system.

THEN:

1. Went into my router's settings and made only ONE bridged connection

2. In Windows 7: Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Connect to the internet (Wireless, broadband or dial-up) > Create new connection (only if you already have an existing connection) > Broadband (PPPoE) > Typed in Username & Password & LOCAL/INTERNATIONAL connection > Let it test and connect to the internet.

*NB: You have to set up two connections: One Local and one international

3. Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings (on the left-hand pane) > Right click on LOCAL connection > Properties > Networking tab > Internet Protocol Version 6 AND 4 > Advanced > UNTICK "Use default gateway on remote network > Click the "OK" box three times.

*NB: ONLY do this for LOCAL connection!

4. Open RouteSentry as Administrator > Choose your international and local connections > connect both.

The routing table should've updated automatically as soon as you connect both connections.
Look in the log tab for:

02/05/2009 19:56:10 Creating routing table
02/05/2009 19:56:10 Finished creating routing table

If you see:

ERROR: The operation completed successfully

It is not working properly.

Make sure you have done all the steps correctly and if it still doesn't work, UNTICK Internet Protocol Version 6 from both of the International and Local connection's properties.

If it still doesn't work after this, make sure that in RouteSentry, the connections will both be automatically reconnected if there is a disconnect and just click the "Disconnect Local" button. It will disconnect and reconnect and the routing table should set up correctly.

stroebs's tutorial has two errors:
1.) You have to search for values and not keys
2.) You have to untick "Use default gateway on remote network" for both the local and international connections
