ip routing

[smh]

When I run ipconfig /all, my win2000prof machine
configuration shows - Node Type: Mixed, ip routing
enabled: yes, wins proxy enabled: no. My winxpprof machine
shows - Node type: hybrid, ip routing enabled: no, wins
proxy enabled: no. Should node type be the same? My main
concern is ip routing - should it be enabled or disabled
on both machines - they are networked together via
wireless network. If so how do I change setting??

The only time you need IP routing enabled is if you plan on forwarding
packets from one interface to the other. on client machines, this
functionality is controlled via the reg key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnab
leRouter.

If your machine has a single interface this setting should be 0x00.

If you have multiple interfaces, then the setting should be set according to
your needs ( In most cases 0x00 ).

Sir:
Thanks for replying to my recent post concerning ip
routing. I ran reg edit and checked what you said and my
machine shows "IPEnableRouter REG_DWORD 0x00000000
(0)". This appears to conflict with what you said it
should be set to 0(disabled). When I run ipconfig /all, it
shows ip routing enabled: yes. Please advise. Thanks so
much!

This can also be caused by services that require routing. An example of a
service that does this is Routing and Remote Access. If you type Net Start,
see if this is in your list of started services.
