Hi,

I have a Windows XP Professional pc with two adapters (dual homing) and I
want to use it to route from one subnet on adapter a to a Gateway on the
other subnet on adapter B.

ROUTE PRINT displays what looks like the correct routing table but no
traffic can cross my machine.


I have enabled IP Routing via the Registry.

Any tips would be gratefilly received.

Routing may well be configured correctly on the XP machine. However, in
order for traffic to be routed correctly from some computer on the subnet
connected to adapter A, that computer must have a default gateway which
points to the IP address of adapter A. AND the gateway attached to adapter
B must have a static route which sends traffic destined for the remote
machine to adapter B.

Hi,

Well I seem to be having difficult adding the recommended explicit route to
my routing table. I keep getting the message:

route: bad gateway address gateway

Further suggestions would be gratefully received.

Incidentally, I can use my subnet A machine to successfully ping adapter B
on my routing XP machine but no further.

Thanks
Paul
