Routing in NT Workstation / Win2K Pro / XP Pro
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2004 6:47 pm
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.
