There have route command in windows XP2.
under command prompt window, I input "route/?"
I get the answer
"Manipulates network routing tables."

It's confusing me, as I think there is routing table only on a Router.

Yes, your computer has a routing table. It needs a routing table to
tell it how to connect to IP addresses other than its own.

The routing table in a home computer usually only has entries for the
computer itself and for the default gateway through which the computer
communicates with the Internet. The routing table for an Internet
router would have many more entries.
