Hmm, I wonder if another software program has set some default metrics 
here. Is the default route that uses a 20 metric for a statically 
addressed adapter? I wonder if DHCP routes are being added as 30, static 
as 20 and the cisco client as 1 ... suspicious ...

Anyhow, one more time around. I don't know of a way to force windows to 
create a route with a specific metric when handed out via DHCP. Here is 
an updated package that adds the route via another mechanism with an 
explicit cost.
