pair 2, 3, 4 = none  (OK)

The secret for One sided autoroute in Ares is to EDIT the Package type of each component . ( I made a personal librari for this )
During this edit , you define that the pads and connects lie on Bottom Copper layer , for example. You do that for all components you use. ( All red color for example ).

Woila !

Start using your personal defined packages right from isis when you do your circuits.

Has worked fine for me.
