when i do "route print" on my machine, it shows my default gateway as 10.225.150.1
but when i do tracert www.google.com, the first machine it reaches is 10.225.150.2. The route command does not show any entry for 10.225.150.2.
So, why tracert is showing 10.225.150.2?
my maching is on Windows XP.

If your gateway is Multihomed it might have several IPs assigned to it but traceroute will only show one. The one shown doesn't have to be the one you're using as your default GW. You would find this kind of setup on corporate networks mostly, not so much with home routers.
