Enabling IP Routing for Windows XP

tiaot

We got a few computers (less than 10) in 2 subnets. We have one
Windows XP computer with 2 LAN adapters. We want to use this computer
as a very simple router in the middle of the two subnets.
In NT 4 we can simply open the properties of TCP/IP and check
“Enable IP Routing”.  However,  in Windows XP we don't have this
checkbox in TCP/IP properties. To make the same effect, we need to
change something in the registry.
Click “Start”, click “run” and enter “regedit”.
Locate
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters”,
we can find a value called “IPEnableRouter”. Let's double click it and
set the value to “1”. We are all set then.
This is not good for large enterprises. But for some specific very
small businesses enabling Windows XP as the simple router will save the
cost, as we don't need to buy a new copy of Windows Server 2003 only
for the Routing feature.
