Routing in NT Workstation / Win2K Pro / XP Pro

[BlackOrchid]

There is no GUI to enable routing in any of the "workstation" releases of MS OS's, but a registry tweak can still do it. In both Win2K Pro and XP Pro, the following registry key should already exist. In NT, you may simply have to create it.

• 1. Run regedit/regedt32
  
  2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Tcpip\Parameters
  
  3. There is a REG_DWORD called IPEnableRouter - which is set to 0 by default. Set that to 1.
  
  4. Reboot.
  
  You're good to go.

I haven't seen any support for a routing protocol on 2K Pro / XP Pro, but you're welcome to go look!
