	Well. So there is no problem with the client but the router.

	We have problem with the router - so routing table on the client is no 
relevant. You need to consult the routing table on the server. Also, I'm 
not sure what you mena speaking about "specific route entry". We need to 
look for the entry appropriate for the packet in question - whenever 
it's specific or not. So use "route get <destination IP>" or similar 
command (depends on your OS). If there is NO routing entry for the 
destination, then you know why you got "destination unreachable".
