To disable RIP Listening
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to
a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this
procedure.
Open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
In Components, click Networking Services (but do not select its check box),
and then click Details.
Unselect the RIP Listener check box, and then click OK.
Click Next, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.
Notes
To open Add or Remove Programs, click Start, point to Settings, click
Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
When you enable RIP Listening (also called silent RIP), your computer can
learn other routes on the network by listening to RIP messages, and then
adding their IP addresses to the route table. Thus, you do not need to
manually add routes to the route table. This service can be useful in some
dial-up network situations, such as when the computer is operating as a
remote access client over a dial-up connection to a corporate network. In
this example, Windows can listen and dynamically update its default route
table to include additional routes valid for the corporate network. These
additional routes can improve network access and performance over the
dial-up connection by reducing the number of packets that are sent to the
incorrect router.
Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) can be configured to send
out either RIPv1, RIPv2, or both types of packets. However, RIP listening
only listens and updates route information sent by routers that use RIPv1.
Certain Windows components require configuration before they can be used. If
you installed one or more of these components, but did not configure them,
when you click Add/Remove Windows Components, a list of components that need
to be configured is displayed. To start the Windows Components Wizard, click
Components.
