I have a really strange Windows 7 IPv4 routing issue that I can't get to the bottom of.
The summary of the issue is that the default gateway is set to 192.168.254.253, but that it is actually using a default gateway of 192.168.254.254.
Here's a network diagram:

This is a recently (a few weeks ago) converted fibre site with the original 2 DSL lines still attached and running. An Untangle (firewall) was installed with the fibre line.
Here is the affected PC network configuration:

And finally, doing a tracert from the 2nd workstation yields expected results:
C:\Users\administrator>tracert -d www.bbc.co.uk
Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk [212.58.244.67]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.254.253
2 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 141.0.xxx.xxx
3 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 141.0.xxx.xxx

7 30 ms 2 ms 2 ms 95.177.0.2
8 2 ms 2 ms 2 ms 195.66.224.103

As expected, it is routing via .253, and the 2nd hop is the inside interface of the Juniper NTU.
I've not inspected the traffic yet. In particular, I was going to look for ICMP redirects, though why there would be an ICMP redirect at all is not really sensible?
.254 used to be the default gateway before the fibre was installed.
Any ideas? Doesn't make sense to me why there should be this routing issue :(
The Draytek Dual WAN Router was rebooted, the PC was rebooted. The PC had the network disabled and then re-enabled. All the standard stuff when Windows looses the plot.
Hopefully somebody recognises the symptoms!
PS: Sorry for the long post, but I didn't want to leave something potentially relevant out.
PPS: No iSCSI involved on/at this or any other workstation so Windows 7 routing traffic through the gateway for local addresses isn't the issue.
