I have a windows 2000 professional box with 2 NICs and
need to make a router out of it. I was told to use RRAS,
but when i downloaded and ran it, there was a "problem"
with it, and it wouldn't run. I'm wondering if there is a
patch to be able to run it on Windows 2000, or if you have
to run it on a Windows 2000 server.

Also, I would like some info on where to get instructions
on usage and deployment.

Thanks,
seth R.
 
To make a professional box a router, use the following registry setting:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
DWORD IPEnableRouter = 0x01

This enables the IP Unicast Forwarder. Routing will need to be performed
with static routes ( Route Add )

RRAS is a server only component. It offers routing protocols and many other
features.
