What am I missing?

Ok heres situation:

2 machines on the same network trying to access the same thing.

Machine A - Windows XP Pro
Machine B - Windows 2003 Server

Add a static route to machine A using the following:

ROUTE ADD 217.37.23.213 MASK 255.255.255.255 10.0.10.8

So basically sending all traffic aimed at 217.37.23.213 through 10.0.10.8 gateway.

Add the same route to machine B.

Now try to connect to the software I am trying to get on with Machine A and BINGO! connects first time

Try it on Machine B and nothing.

Try a tracert or Machine A and it shows that the traffic is going via the 10.0.10.8 gateway

Machine B shows the same.

So what is stopping machine B from connecting?

*Both machines have the Windows firewall disabled
**There is no firewall or filtering on the 10.0.10.8 gateway.
