ok, you must have RIP I enabled. RIP I does NOT support subnet masks.
Go to inetcfg/bindings. Select the bindings where you want to disable RIP I.
Go to Configure TCP/IP bind options, go to RIP bind options and in the RIP
version, select RIPII.
Make sure that in inetcfg, LAN static routing is enabled, as well.
