disabling TCP/IP address forwardind

[glenn]

How is TCP/IP address forwarding enabled/disabled on XP?
I found a Microsoft Knowledge Base aricle on enabling by
editing the registry, but I need to disable and on other
Windows versions it was a tick-box in Control Panel.

Hi Glenn,

To disable TCP/IP forwarding, follow these steps:


1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

2. In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

3. Set the following registry value:


Value Name: IPEnableRouter

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value Data: 0
A value of 0 disables TCP/IP forwarding for all network connections that
are installed and used by this computer.


4. Quit Registry Editor.

Thanks,

hi Marc

I've tried to do the above, went thru the whole registry, all values(it seems that there were 3 places where I can find the parameter for ipenablerouter) were '0'. I am trying to access to my company's VPN using Checkpoint's Securemote, and it keeps saying my PC's ip forwarding is active and not allowing me to continue. Would you be able to help
