Why does the routes on my MS Windows machines change when a SmartNode is booted on the same subnet.

The SmartNode is a router as per RFC1812/RFC1256 and thus sends "ICMP Router Discovery" messages to the subnet to which it is attached. Some MS Windows versions react to such messages and automatically adjust their routing tables. In order to avoid such unwanted routing table changes on MS Windows machines the "ICMP Router Discovery" can be switched off as follows (per interface):
context ip
interface eth0
no icmp router-discovery
