Bug: Cannot find route to target

["Shreyas Zare" <shreyas () technitium com>]

Hi,

I am having a Win2003 machine configured as a router. The router uses
a Demand Dial interface to connect to the Internet. When I an starting
a scan with Nmap, it throws error:

me
WARNING: Unable to find appropriate interface for system route to 10.5.1.7

nexthost: failed to determine route to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The routing table has no issues and route print command gives following o/p

Addidtional info is that the machine is behind a NAT of the ISP. All
other apps have no problems with the configuration. If I use a
standard Windows dialer to connect then there is no problem with Nmap.
