IP routing by server help

[patrichek]

Hi All,
I have 2 nics on a win 2k3 server and would like to use the server to route traffic between 2 subnets; 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0

Server
nic1

ip 192.168.1.240
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g blank

Server

nic2
ip 192.168.2.2
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g 192.168.2.1

trying to ping 192.168.1.x from my laptop does not work, my laptop ip:

192.168.2.10
sm 255.255.255.0
d/g 192.168.2.1

What am i missing? I don't know how to route the traffic on the server between the subnets.

thanks!

Hi,

The quick way is to set the following registry setting to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter

The official way for 2003 is to use the Routing and Remote Access Service:

1)Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools
2)Double click Routing and Remote Access
3)In the console tree, right-click the server you want to enable, and then click Configure And Enable Routing and Remote Access
4)Follow the wizard...
To enable simple (static) IPv4 routing, choose Custom Configuration on the Configuration page then LAN Routing
