Is there any software available to allow a WinXP machine with multiple ethernet interfaces to act as a router for these interfaces

I don't know why you need routing, Dan, and the solution that Marc
gave might be the best one for you.

It's possible that the Network Bridge can do the job better. It
combines multiple physical networks into one logical network, allowing
all of the computers to be in one subnet. I've written a web page
with details:
