What do you mean a "local host"? Do you mean a host on the same network?
If so, then you have correctly added a route to your local network.

There are actually two programs (versions) that 3com supplies for
configuring your ethernet card. I also found this out the hard way.
Perhaps you can check again for possibly a later version.

It could potentially be a problem, but I have succeeded in configuring
these cards with plug-and-play enabled.

Well, you could always boot from a dos floppy, no?
First, be sure you have a default route out of your machine. This
typically represents the router on your network, like 192.168.100.1. A
local sysadmin should be able to tell you what your closest router is.
Also be sure you have the netmask correct for your network. A Class C
network no longer necessarily means 255.255.255.0.
