Two years ago, I put 2 NIC in a Windows 2000 workstation
machine to enable it to be inside and outside of a domain
simultaneously. I tried it on a windows xp machine, but I
found that Microsoft had closed that hole. Windows xp
would not allow a machine to be inside and outside a
domain simultaneously. Does any one know how to fix this
problem? Thank for your help.
 
Hi Sue,

You can change the following registry key to enable IP forwarding in XP:


IPEnableRouter

Key: Tcpip\Parameters

Value Type: REG_DWORD - Boolean

Valid Range: 0 or 1 (False or True)

Default: 0 (False)

Description: Setting this parameter to 1
(True) causes the system to route IP packets
between the networks that it is connected to.


Thanks,
